Quote from @Akshay Bhaskaran:

Below is the thorough analysis of my recent BRRR deal. Let me know your thoughts:

Buy:
- It was an off-market property, and the asking price was $232,500
- My hard-money lender said he'd finance 80% of the as-is property value.
- The as-is value was $265,000, and I was able to get a short-term loan for $212,000 (0.80 * $265,000)
- My down from hand was ($232,500 - $212,000) = $20,500
- Including the closing costs, appraisal, inspection, and all other charges, my total BUY was $32,598

Rehab:

-
It was a fixer upper. Just cosmetic rehab. Fresh coat of paint, new LVP flooring, landscaping, fixtures, some basic service, and deep cleaning
- It was a total of $14,091, and it was from my pocket. Didn't go with HML/PML for this.

Refinance:

- After fixing up, the property's new appraised value (or After-Repair Value - ARV) was $312,500
- Lender was able to give me 75% of the appraised value as the conventional loan
- Conventional loan was $234,375 (0.75 * $312,500), and they gave me back the difference between this conv. loan and the short term loan ($234,375 - $212,000) = $22,375 to me as loan modification
- Refinance closing cost (incl. appraisal and others) was $13,502

Overall BRRR Analysis:

Purchase cost:           $32,598
Amount on rehab:    $14,091
Refinance closing:    $13,502
--------------------------------------------
Total in the deal:      $60,191
Loan modification:  $22,375
(Lender gave back)
--------------------------------------------
NET IN THE DEAL:   $37,816

--------------------------------------------


Why is BRRR so great compared with conventional? With just 12.10% down, I was able to get 25% equity in the property :) 

How long you had to wait to refinance it ?

Quote from @Travis Biziorek:

Yes, it's pretty simple to increase the rent. You can do it once per year with a one page form. You'll need the tenant to sign it as well.

That said, if you want to retain the tenant there are some things you should consider before pushing the rent way up in one go. 

What is the tenant's portion of the rental amount? If you raise the rent will they be able to pay more?


We would like to know if the section 8 it self can and will be be increased without having the tenant to increase her rent portion.

Hello everybody, 

I am looking to purchase a property with a section 8 tenant, and the rent is way below market at about $800 for a 3 bed house, while an average rental is about $1300 to $1400. How to increase the rent for this property with the section 8, and is that affect the tenant's portion of rent he is paying?

Hello Community team,

When you do a BRRRR, I am finding out that there is a 6 months seasoning waiting period ( DSCR ) before you can cash out refinance, so we can evolve our funds to go to the next property to purcahse and redo a BRRRR.


Thanks for your input and advise for a solutions.


 Correct, many lenders require a 6 month seasoning period, but there are a growing number of lenders doing 90 days or less right now, especially if you can show that rehab has taken place.

Are you currently looking for one in Detroit? Just sent a DM but happy to help if I can!


Hi Aj,

Thanks for your reply, would you please send the lenders contact info that do 3 months seasoning ?

@Brandon Rush

Thanks for your reply.

Correct, we can increase the rent every year, however, rent as long f mow is $825 and it was raised this past September.

The current tech is 1275.

Long way for section 8 to come up that much.

Last year was 775, they raised it to 825.

Thanks Kathy for your response, Kind we are as an investors to our tenants, that is not the topic.

17 yrs as a month to month lease, My only concern is the duration with HUD assistance can be an issue or longer months or year to vacant the place.
