Quote from @Blanca Munoz:
Hello, so I bought my first house and before I bought it, I didn't know about the BRRRR Method. I purchased the house for $145,000 and they were asking for $180,000. It appraised for $150,000. Renovations would cost around $30,000 but the only things I've done are Plumbing, foundation work, gas line, and new windows. All of this has cost me about $10,000. I paid in cash for all of this. My question is, since I already closed on the house, can I still do the BRRRR method? If so, how do I go about it. Should I do a HELOC to renovate the rest? I'm thinking of doing the BRRRR method but house hacking it since it's my first home. Is this possible? I just started watching a lot of videos on the BRRRR method and don't know what to do after doing those repairs. Can someone give me advice? I have all the numbers from the loan if someone needs them to help me run it and for it to make sense for me. I guess I'll see if I made a good deal or not in order for this to work.
Blanca,
Yes, you could take a HELOC for the remaining repairs, or refinance into a bridge loan and get some capital back to make those repairs, and then refinance into the long term loan that you are looking for.
Your bridge loan would be that 6-12 month Interest-only loan with no prepayment penalty. This would allow you to get some cash out, make the final repairs, and then do the final cash out refinance to prepare for your next one.
Good luck!
