Everyone talks about the excitement of the refinance — pulling cash out, locking in new terms, and getting ready to repeat the process.But here’s what I’ve seen a lot of investors forget:What happens after the refi matters just as much as before it.Once you refinance, your numbers change — your basis, your loan interest, and your depreciation schedule.Most people never revisit their books or update their records after closing, and it slowly creates a mess.You’d be surprised how often investors forget to:Recalculate depreciation based on new cost basisAdjust their loan amortization and interest deductionsTrack how much cash was actually pulled out vs. reinvestedThose little details might not seem important now, but they can cause major confusion (and extra taxes) down the line — especially when you go to sell or refinance again.The BRRRR method works beautifully if your backend systems stay clean.So when the refi funds hit, take a breather, update your records, and make sure your financials tell the full story.That’s how you stay scalable, organized, and audit-proof.Curious — how do you stay on top of your numbers after the refinance?
