BRRR Strategy Question
I'm sure this is a real noob question, but I'm curious as to how the refinance part of this strategy works?
Assuming you are able to refinance for 70% of the ARV, how do you utilize the funds from the refinance to pay back your original lenders (e.g. private/hard money) and start again?
I feel like I'm missing something very obvious in this step?
Thanks and appreciate your patience in this learning process.

Buy home for 50k
put 20k work into it
home is now worth 100k
bank refinances 70% of 100k for $70,000 going to "you".
You owe 50k + 20k to hard money lender. You give money from bank to hard money lender to pay debt. If hard money lender is a lien holder bank will pay them directly.
you get $0 cash out of deal but now control a property with 100,000-70,000= 30,000 in equity.
as bill said make sure A) you will qualify for the cash out refinance and B) Their seasoning/LTV requirements.
