Free BRRRR Calculator

Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat — the whole strategy lives or dies on one question: how much of your cash comes back out at the refinance. This calculator models the full cycle, shows the capital you leave in the deal, and what the property pays you after the refi. No account, no use limits, and you can save every analysis in your browser below.

The verdict

Total cash into the project—

All-in basis vs ARV—

New loan at refinance—

Cash returned at refinance—

Capital left in the deal—

Equity after refinance—

New monthly payment (P&I)—

Monthly cash flow after refi—

Estimates only. ARV is the number to be most skeptical of — verify it with sold comps, not listing prices. Seasoning rules (how long you must own before a cash-out refi) vary by lender, commonly 6–12 months.

A BRRRR only works if the rental math works after the refinance, so pressure-test the rent side with the House Hack Calculator if you plan to live in one unit, and run the Long-Term Projection to see what holding it a decade does. Not sure how much cash you need to get started at all: the answer is in how much money you need to start investing in real estate.
