This is called the environmental return on investment or EROI which looks at sourcing raw materials, manufacturing, transportation, installation and recycling of materials after their 40-50 year useful life.

If you have garbage every week, recycling ever other week (or some combination) - what instructions do you give your guests in terms of taking the garbage to the street if it falls during their visit?

If you can recycle your $80K down payment every 2-3 years and be left with a cash flowing asset every time then I'd say you are on the right track.

If I can BRRRR the first property, then I will be able to recycle funds.

As I look ahead to future properties, and to a rather aggressive goal I have set for cash flow in the next 3 years, I need to be able to recycle my cash. 

If you are looking to recycle your cash (ie BRRRR or Flip) that’s a useful tool.

They are recyclable and look nice, I call that a win-win!

If you are looking to recycle your capital through value add projects, ie BRRRR or Flips, then a Heloc may make more sense.

@Brendan VanDalindaIf I could turn back time I would’ve stopped worrying about down payments and focused on recycling capital through brrrr.

One had the plumbing recycled.
