BRRRR for primary residence
I realize this is not a true BRRRR as I will be removing the "rent" portion of this, but I would like to apply the strategy nonetheless. Please tell me your thoughts on this. I purchase a home with OPM (private, or hard), rehab in 3 months, move in as my primary residence, refinance with local credit union or bank, pay back investors. What pitfalls/roadblocks do you see me running into? Has anyone done this? Is there a potentially easier way to do this than what I have described? Thank you!

Yes there is, and I did. I refinanced about a year and a half later into a conventional and moved out.
