Instead of refinancing immediately, you hold out for rates to drop, which many economists predict will happen as inflation cools and market conditions stabilize in the coming years.Refinance when rates drop, extracting capital while maintaining cash flow at a similar level due to the lower interest rate.Repeat the process by redeploying the refinanced capital into new investment opportunities.This version of the BRRRR method is more of a long-term play, as opposed to the quick 6-12 month cycles many of us were used to.
