BRRRR Method Explained: How Investors Build Wealth with Real Estate

If you’ve spent any time researching real estate strategies, you’ve likely heard of the BRRRR method—Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat.

It’s one of the most powerful tools in a real estate investor’s toolbox, helping to scale portfolios, build equity fast, and reduce the need for fresh capital.

But what does BRRRR look like for passive investors? Let’s break it down.

What Is the BRRRR Method?

• Buy: Purchase a distressed or undervalued property.

• Rehab: Improve the property to increase value and rent potential.

• Rent: Stabilize the property with tenants.

• Refinance: Pull out built-up equity through cash-out refinancing.

• Repeat: Use the returned capital to reinvest into the next deal.
