Part 3 of the 5-Year Review Miniseries. The BRRRR Method: Does it Still Work? (Real Estate Pro Reveals All)
Jenny Bayless is back with part 3 of the 5-year review miniseries using the BRRRR method -if you need a refresh, check out part 1 and part 2-. In this episode, Jenny dives into the details of each step of the BRRRR method, discussing the importance of finding the right property, calculating the potential return on investment, managing the rehabilitation process, tax regulations, insurance costs, finding tenants that will take care of the home, and refinancing at the right time. She also shares her lessons, mistakes, and crucial tips like understanding what a seasoning period is, why you should always get a sewer scope inspection, and more.
Jenny’s Experience
Jenny purchased the first home in 2017 from a wholesaler at $113.000, put 10% down, and funded the rehab which was about $25.000. Now the house is rented at $1,425 with amazing tenants that love the space. One important concept to mention is the seasoning requirement and which is the amount of time that has to pass between your original loan on the property and when the bank is ready to give you a cash out on a new loan on the property.
