Need help understanding Refi in the BRRRR method
I'm a rookie investor who has come across a deal that seems to work well, but I could use some assurance or advice. Here's the sitch...
I come upon a property in Alabama from a wholesaler for 37k. Rehab estimate is 20k, but let's go with 23k to bring the total to 60k. I have 60k hard money to pay for it. The ARV should be 80k. I'm going to use it as a short term rental, and should average 2k per month, conservatively.
I'm unsure of the next steps and order, but here's what I think. Get appraisal. Find a lender with a better rate. Get up to 75% back to pay back my hard money lender (60k if it appraises at 80k). Repeat.
Am I missing anything? Though I have great credit, I fear that I won't be able to find a lender with a better rate.
Thank you!
