I want to refi and pull some of that equity out ($200-$250k) so I can keep growing my portfolio but I'm not sure how to approach it as it would obliterate the cash flow I currently have, and in the current market I won't be able to make up for it with additional properties as they would also have minimal cash flow.

The BRRRR strategy is a systematic approach to real estate investing that revolves around five key steps:Buy: Purchase a property, often below market value, that has potential for appreciation and improvement.Rehab: Renovate the property to increase its value, make it livable, and improve its rental potential.Rent: Find reliable tenants who will pay rent, allowing you to generate consistent cash flow.Refinance: After the property is rehabbed and rented, refinance it to pull out the equity you’ve built through the renovation.Repeat: Use the cash obtained from refinancing to fund your next investment property, starting the cycle again.Step-by-Step Breakdown of the BRRRR MethodLet’s take a closer look at each stage of the BRRRR strategy to see how it works in practice.1.

In order to do so, I would need to do a cash out refinance of the first property, and was told I can pull out $80,000.

I had a call with Simpletalk a few months ago and seemed pretty interesting but haven't pulled the trigger yet as it is costly.I know services do white labels and people brand it into their own AI call services, which mean a lot of these AI calls may actually be the same service...How much does Air AI cost?
