I think I understand BRRR - someone gut check me.
So - here's a high level run down of how I understand this - and a few questions.
Premise - let's say I have about 20k to invest here.
Buy - simple, run the numbers, make sure they'll work - in the case of BRRR you want to find ideally the crappiest property in the nicest (or best/up and coming) area for the best price - hopefully without structural issues. Let's say for example - a neglected 14,000 town house that empty and boarded up falling/apart. So at the end of the day, I've got this property outright for about 20k (14 + closing)
Rehab - hard money loan for ~40k for argument. Let's say term is 6 months. And barring issues, let's say rehab is done in 5 months on budget. (yes, I know there are crazy factors here - bear with me for sake of example). Do you make payments on the hard money while rehabbing?
Rent - Now, I've got a nice property, worth about 65-70k now, I rent it out for $1,000/month. I owe a full amount of 40k+ to my lender in a month or two.
Re-finanace (here's where my questions come in) - so I engage a traditional mortgage company? - to refinance the house and put a traditional mortgage on it for the 40k+ ? How does this work - are the specific companies that will do this are these non-traditional mortgages? - regular lenders or do you need something more specialized? Do you need an addt'l down payment $$ here to secure the refinance? This is where things get murky for me, I find lots of info on the other 3 steps - this one seems vague.
Thanks in advance!
