Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Brrrr Calculator?
This tool estimates the profitability of a real estate investment using the 'Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat' method. It calculates cash flow, refinance potential, and returns based on your inputs.
How is the After Repair Value (ARV) used?
The ARV represents the property's estimated market value after renovations. It is the primary metric used by lenders to determine how much cash you can pull out during the refinance stage.
What does LTV stand for?
LTV stands for Loan-to-Value ratio. In the refinance stage, it is the percentage of the ARV the lender is willing to lend (e.g., 75%). This determines your maximum loan amount.
How is Cash-on-Cash Return calculated?
Cash-on-Cash Return measures your annual cash flow as a percentage of the actual cash you invested out-of-pocket (down payment, closing costs, and rehab expenses).
What are considered 'Operating Expenses'?
These include property taxes, insurance, property management fees, maintenance, vacancy allowance, and HOA fees. They are subtracted from rental income to determine Net Operating Income.
Why is my initial cash investment different from my rehab costs?
Initial cash investment includes not just the purchase price and rehab costs, but also closing costs for both the purchase and the refinance, and any loan origination fees.
