Thus, your exit/extraction, with grant you all that money back TIMES 3-5.

Thanks for the shout-out, @Jay Hinrichs.Now that you advertised you have money to lend with no criteria, @Jeff Lawlor, you’ll hear from everyone and their brother, nationwide, looking to extract it from you.

You can find videos/articles online on how to get the basement dry, but the basic process is: 1) turn off all electric to the basement (to avoid electrocution from the water), 2) run pumps to get the standing water out of the basement (sounds like you're already doing this)3) remove all furniture and items from the basement,4) once you've pumped out the standing water from the basement, rent a wet/dry carpet cleaner/extractor from home depot, and use it to extract as much water as possible from the carpets (they'll be much lighter and easier to move once you get the water out). 5) After you've used the carpet extractor to get most of the water out of the carpet, remove all carpet and get it out of the house for drying (if you're trying to salvage the carpets), or throw the carpet out.

Myself included, I'm one of the few here with nothing to sell but I've extracted so much info from the forums it'd be a fat lie if I said I'm all give, no take.Best thing to do is not use your real name too. 

However if I do a BRRRR I can achieve infinite return by extracting all of my investment.

Then they extract this equity to invest in more wealth building assets instead of paying it off completely.

If however that's not the case, obviously getting a mortgage and using your cash as down-payment is the preferred option.For example - I started with $70k, BRRRRed a rental and pulled all my equity out, which I put into another rental and I'm going to extract the equity pit of it as well.

After refi to extract investment at current rates, the RE is huge cash flow negative.  

They're also great at selling you software, more training, and coaching/mentoring....that will for sure extract a good deal of money from the participants.   

This is because at the current rates, a high LTV property (which is required to extract rehab costs) bleed cash.
