The stress test was also another factor making it harder for the bank to lend.Rather than locking away all that equity in the DP on a buy and hold, I am now interested in trying the BRRRR method; however, I am worried that during the refi the ARV will make it unsustainable to the bank if I cannot achieve the high rents they require to make the mortgage work under the stress test.I know there are lenders out there that would be easier to work with on a BRRRR, but the Big 5 bank rates are very attractive right now.Also, are there lenders out there that would finance the initial purchase and then allow for a refinance say, 6-months later after the renovation and tenants are in place?
