Episode notes
Master the 1% Rental Rule
- Use the 1% rule to quickly assess rental deals by ensuring rent is 1% of the purchase or all-in price.
- This rule saves time and helps avoid non-cash flowing properties, especially in Midwest markets.
BRRRR Deals: Stay Under 70% ARV
- Aim to be all-in at 70% of ARV when doing a BRRRR to ensure a cushion in refinancing.
- Make sure post-refinance rent hits the 1% rule to maintain positive cash flow.
Refinance BRRRRs to Maintain Cash Flow
- When refinancing BRRRR deals, ensure the new loan still allows the property to cash flow by hitting the 1% rent rule.
- Don't refinance to the max if it forces negative cash flow at higher interest rates.
