I work primarily with investors focused on short-term rental–friendly oceanfront properties, and something interesting has been happening here:Many of my clients are applying a modified BRRRR strategy to dated oceanfront condos — essentially:Buy older, underpriced units in established resorts → Renovate to STR-grade finishes → Rent on Airbnb/VRBO → Refinance after 12–18 months based on new income comps → Repeat with equity pull-out capital.Even though condos can be trickier with financing and HOA dynamics, the math has worked surprisingly well when:The HOA allows STR operations.Renovations target higher ADR and occupancy.The appraisal reflects short-term rental income rather than long-term leases.I’ve noticed this approach works best when you treat each condo almost like a “micro–multifamily” — tracking cash flow, management efficiency, and appreciation just like you would for a small apartment deal.Curious — has anyone else here applied the BRRRR method to condos or coastal properties instead of single-family or multifamily units?

Im new to real estate and just acquired my first 4-family property. Some of the units require renovations and I’m just trying to figure out the most cost effective way to do this without putting a huge hole in my pock...

Hi all!I feel like I'm a fish out of water here a bit. I know that there are tons of different types of lenders but I believe for my case I would need a private money lender or hard money lender. To my knowledge, hard...

Best method in my opinion is to find some of the biggest buyers in whatever market(s) you are trying to start in. 

That’s awesome that you found BP through David Greene’s book — his breakdown of the BRRRR method is one of the best out there.

I’ve looked at this method.  

Did you use the BRRR method?

Everyone talks about the BRRRR method like it’s a formula — Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat.But after working with a lot of investors, I’ve noticed one thing that often gets overlooked:The “tax” side of BRRRR.Most people focus on the deal numbers — the purchase price, the ARV, the refinance rate — but forget that how you structure and record those costs can make a huge difference down the line.For example:Tracking your rehab costs separately helps you depreciate correctly later.Timing your refinance can change when interest expenses become deductible.And keeping good records on improvements vs. repairs can save you thousands when you sell or do a cash-out refi.The BRRRR method is powerful because it lets you build equity fast — but if your books aren’t clean, you’ll end up leaving money on the table when tax season comes around.The investors who scale fastest aren’t just great at finding deals — they’re great at documenting them.Curious — how do you track your rehab and refinance expenses during a BRRRR project?

If the former need to 100% make sure you are following your state/county laws and the lease language regarding notification for entering the unit without the tenant present.If the latter and your won't be entering the unit then the form of notice doesn't matter, but would advise several contact methods to get as many on board as possible. 

Hey everyone,
I’m new to real estate investing and currently based in Dallas (Irving). I’m focused on learning how to analyze deals quickly and confidently — especially small multifamily or house hack opportunities.
