Episode notes
Scale With The BRRRR Playbook
- Use the BRRRR method: buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat to extract equity and keep cash-flowing properties.
- Refinance to pull out most of your invested capital and retain the property while capturing tax and equity benefits.
Leverage Hard Money Lenders
- Use hard-money lenders like Kiavi to fund purchase and 100% of construction so you rarely need large cash reserves.
- Start with small down payments (e.g., 10%) and refinance after rehab to recover capital and scale fast.
Credit Flexibility Beats Income Proof
- Kiavi accepts borrowers with about a 660 credit score and no income documentation for rehab loans.
- That underwriting lets entrepreneurs without W-2 income still access sizable rehab capital quickly.
