Would it make sense to invest in improving my home, then refinance with a bank to extract the created equity, and then use that money to purchase a rental property?

Sell these 4 properties, go buy 2-3 significantly better one's with better reserves and really extract the value from REI by buying distressed & fixing up, and holding.These aren't set it and forget it type investments.

You’ll need to experiment with these variables until you find a method that works.These days, I’m fully invested in Google Ads, which doesn’t require data extraction and allows you to pre-screen people.Additionally, to monetize the leads, you could make a deal with a broker to get a finder’s fee (they can split the commission, but only if you’re a licensed broker).

@Chris Seveney, I think you are talking about fraud where you as a lender lie about the payoff to extract additional money from the borrower.

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.

That said, expect to deal with a fair amount of fluff leads.The two best strategies I’ve found are inbound methods: direct mail and Google Ads.Direct mail can be expensive, but it can also yield highly discounted properties.Google Ads, on the other hand, doesn’t require data extraction like calls, direct mail, or texting.

Regularly review your property's performance, and if the ROE dips, explore ways to extract and reinvest the equity to maintain your investment momentum. 

Those are just tools for people to call themselves a best seller and extract small payments from people. ebooks are best used as free materials because everyone knows they are not really books.

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