How to Analyze a BRRRR Deal
BRRRR chains acquisition, rehab, stabilization, refinance, and long-term cash flow. A weak link—especially refinance assumptions or post-refi rent—can make modeled returns look better than real life.
Buy and rehab
Treat rehab like a flip first: realistic scope, timeline, and contingency. BRRRR fails in the field when rehab runs long and rent-ready date slips.
Rent and refinance
Stabilized rent drives both appraisal narrative and post-refi cash flow. Model refinance LTV conservatively—appraisal and loan terms may differ from your base case.
Post-refi cash flow and DSCR context
After refinance, debt service and rent set your breathing room. HeraclesIQ can help you visualize modeled cash flow and related risk signals based on the assumptions you enter—not a prediction of appraisal or loan approval.
