investing in brrr in 2026

[Shoham Gat]

hello I have been learning a lot about the BRRRR strategy and Its seems like a great way to grow a wealth during the years as my goal is to maximize my capital in a decade from now

a main way if not the biggest to create the highest grow of my money is to have a good appreciation but as I was investigating where is the best market to invest i went to the macro appreciation for the last 3 years and even last year,(the last 10 years been amazing but a lot of bad changes went I the last years for the BRRRR investors such as end of corona, mortgage rate, insurance is some areas, many great years which create a fix now) and the numbers for median property unit were awful between negative to barely increasing (Zillow) so I stopped for a second to think, is the BRRR strategy is still a great way to start investing in 2026, I know there is renovation and force appreciation in the rehab and some places even good cash flow can create good return on your money but still for looking to create the biggest wealth you need appreciation as a main key (correct me if I'm wrong) so would really appreciate some opinions and thoughts

You're thinking about this the right way. Appreciation is nice, but for BRRRR, cash flow and the ability to recycle your capital fast are usually even more important, especially in today's market. A lot of investors are pivoting to Midwest markets where you can buy undervalued duplexes or small multis, get strong cash flow from day one, and repeat the process quickly. Appreciation comes over time, but your real wealth-building engine early on is locking in deals that let you refinance and move on to the next one without tying up all your money. Focus on numbers that work day one and let the market's natural appreciation be a bonus.
