Your writings indicate your just looking to pay cash and have a propertyThe theory with brrr is you get it below market, fix it, rent it, way till it is seasoned (6-12 mos) then refinance it and get all your cash back because you have 20%+ equity in the dealAs an example I bought a condo for $70k, put $20k into it, rented it for $1500 and refinanced it as it appraised for $140k so I took a 90k loan to get my money out (don’t take extra but some may- personal preference).Now I got my 90k cash back, so no cash in deal and rent is paying PITI + condo fees and still cash flowing $200.
