BRRRR Newb: Confused about cash-out refinance?

[Hal Fitzgerald]

Hi BP members,

I've been reading up on BRRRR, and for the most part, I understand the basics. However, I'm confused about the refinancing part. Specifically, the cash-out portion confuses me. I'm familiar with the term 'refinance' as replacing an existing mortgage with a new one to get a lower interest rate or different term.

What I got from reading about BRRRR is that when you're ready to refinance, look for a "cash-out" refinance loan. Here's an example of what I'm thinking:

* I bought a distressed home for $50,000. I rehabbed it for $10,000. And it gets appraised for $100,000. Then, I look for a cash-out refinance loan.

* The bank offers me .75 of 100,000.

* Does that mean I get $75,000 in a check form? I use that $75,000 ($15,000 extra income [75k - 60k total cost ]) to buy a new property or put it in my bank. Is this correct?

Thank you everyone! Any help is appreciated!

This is great information guys! I'm thinking of trying the BRRRR method. I'm new to landlording (it's a small property), and I hope to grow my portfolio. Glad to know that I understand the basics of BRRRR.
