This is my first BRRRR that I purchased in July 2020. I completely renovated this 1905 duplex top to bottom. Added in-unit laundry rooms, new kitchens, new bathrooms with subway tile, roof, electrical and all new plumbing, minor landscaping and fresh exterior and interior paint. I was able to rent the 2 units out within 2 weeks and at top rent. I now pocket around $1,500 per month after expenses on my first BRRRR.
