Jordan Deaver Explain BRRR math in detail

So if I buy and renovate for $145K, I need the building to rent for $2900 per month or 2% Price to rent ratio.Using the gross rents and 50% expense ratio(Vacancy, cap ex, maintenance landscape/snow, taxes, insurance utilities), we are looking at a cash flow number of around $1450 per monthFrom this number we need to take off the monthly debt service cost on $150K @6.5% with a 25Y Amortization.so $1450 - $1012 = $438(cash flow after all expenses)I would use this number to see how long it would take me to recoup the money that I left in the deal($120K purchase and $25K reno)Take the actual loan amount $141K - Purchase and reno $145K, so there is $4K left in the deal.It will take you around 9 months @ $438 per month or so to have $0 money into the deal as the $4K left int he deal will be recouped by then.Here is where the compounding starts as you have no money into the deal and you repeat this process over and over while building equity year over year.All the best!
Timothy Lin Syndication numbers over 5 years
5 March 2025 | 4 replies
Quote from @Paul Azad: Real Estate math is annoyingly confusing as syndicators like to use all sorts of different numbers from MOICs to IRRs to AAR-average annual returns to anything else they can come up with to beneficially inflate their numbers for marketing purposes and to avoid the only metric used when investing in all other asset classes, the CAGR- compound annual growth rate, but it's easy to convert, like pounds to kilograms.Here you have 100% in 5 years or 20% AAR, or 2.0 MOIC, you take the MOIC or add 100 to the total return 100%+100% = 200% = 2.0, then you do an exponential equation (x to the Y) with x=2.0 and Y= 1/time in years, so 2 to the 0.2 which is 14.87% that's your CAGR {calculator will have an x to the y button for ease, 2 x/y .2}for example, sp500 just returned 254% over last 10 years, so add 100 so MOIC = 3.54, then to the 0.1 for 1/10 years and CAGR is 13.47%now you can compare returns from syndications to buying VOO or QQQ etc We had a third party track record verification report done and the company who does these (do them alot for mutual funds etc) was asking some of the most basic questions that I thought were no brainers - so I asked - "what are the other ways to calculate these things"?
