  • It’s no surprise that this is my favorite way to invest in real estate, and also one of the fastest ways you can grow your wealth….and this is called the BRRRR strategy of real estate investing. Enjoy! Add me on Snapchat/Instagram: GPStephan

    The BRRRR Method: This basically uses the equity and profit from one property to fund the next property through strategic leverage. And then the next property can fund the next one…and so on, until after a few years you’ve amassed an army of homes that just throw cash at your every month.
    1. The first step is to buy a property, obviously. But the difference here is that you can’t just buy anything - the property not only needs to cash flow, but there needs to be some opportunity for equity. Your equity is basically just the amount of “worth” tied up in the property, minus your loan balance. So you either need to buy into equity by buying something BELOW what its market value is, or buying something where you can add equity with strategic renovations. Most deals won’t work - you need to be better than the average here and really become an expert in your area to spot the best deals, and the patience to wait around until that happens.
    2. Renovate. Once you buy something, you’ll fix it up. Generally this is the best and easiest way to add value to a property. Most places that need work price themselves accordingly. Doing the work yourself saves you from paying someone else’s profit in managing a renovation, and often times you can renovate a property much cheaper than someone else will charge for doing the same thing.
    3. The third step is rent…in that you now rent out the property. You should have had an idea of what price you’d get from the beginning when you bought the property, so it shouldn’t be a surprise what you can rent the property for. The property should rent high enough to pay off all of your expenses AND cash flow on top of it. Like I said, not every property will do this - you will need to find the 1/30 where it makes sense to buy, at the right price, that’ll rent for high enough, with enough equity to add to the deal.
    4. NOW WE REFINANCE! This is where the bank pays off your previous loan, and gives you a NEW loan based off the new, higher value of the property. This means that you’ll have some “Cash at closing,” as it’s called. Now you pretty much got some money back, you have a cash flowing house, and you can do this entire process over again.
    5. And then…you repeat the process and start over again with the next one! The advantage here is that every time you buy something under market value, you increase your net worth. By fixing it up, you increase your net worth and cash flow at the same time. The higher your net worth and the more equity in a property, the more banks are willing to lend you to do it again and continue to increase your cashflow. This is by far my favorite strategy, and you’ll finish this up with a trail of cash flowing properties behind you. Yes, it takes some work to identify and fix up a property - but it’s worth it.

    This is exactly the strategy I'm doing now. Two single family homes at the same time on the same street. Started off with (short term) hard money loans. I'm currently on the refinance stage now. Bought both for 146k after about 130k in rehabs, evictions, taxes, fees and screw-ups. They cash flow and have about 80-95k of equity. I Love the BRRRR strategy!

      Graham, do you know if banks typically require a seasoning period for properties purchased initially in cash? In speaking with a representative from my credit union while searching for properties they suggested a home equity line of credit might be a good way to go as a means of cashing out. Seemed similar in regards to rates for conventional mortgages but I've yet to see that approach mentioned online, any thoughts on that? Thanks

  • @shaun0621
    @shaun0621 Před 6 lety +80

    In your scenario wouldn't you need to get your house appraised for 280K before you can refinance? What does appraisals normally cost, $500-$1000? Are you paying closing cost on both loans? Closing cost on 160k should be around $5,000 and closing on 280k is around $8,000 depending on your location, could be more or less. Depending on how long it takes to fix up the property and find renters, you'll have to make loan payments. On 160k loan $1,300-$1,500 depend on your taxes and interest rate. Multiply that by 3-4 months you're looking at $5,200-$6,000.
    appraisal- $1,000
    160k closing cost $5,000
    280k closing cost $8,000
    Loan payments $6,000
    Down payment $40,000
    Renovation $30,000
    total investment $90,000
    Then you would need to pray the renovations were good enough to convenience the appraiser the house is worth 280K. I'm I missing something? I'm interested investing in real estate, but it can get really confusing.

    • @nothing-wp9ti
      @nothing-wp9ti Před 5 lety +5

      It was a simplified example of course. First, the closing costs might be lower when you are a preferred client instead of a normal primary homeowner, and the refinancing on an existing mortgage may be cheaper. Second, you usually wait a few years before refinancing anyways, so you get some of the equity from mortgage payments. Third, most properties will usually have some existing tenants.

    • @corynorell3686
      @corynorell3686 Před 5 lety +1

      Not only was it a rudimentary example on purpose - but that risk falls on you. YOU have to do the research to figure out what renovations (if any) will give you the return you are looking for. This is done by looking at the market.

    I bought my first home(1750 sq/ft log cabin) with over 2 acres at 18. I got it extremely cheap at a tax auction but I had to completely restore the home. I purchased the home for $21,000 and put another $10-15k into it, and it’s just about done now that I’m 20, but I’ve been doing the work myself and paycheck to paycheck. I would say I have $40,000 into it and the estimated value on the home is around $140,000. I know for a fact I could flip the home but I’m young and I have a house that’s paid for and all I have to do is pay my taxes. I definitely want to try it with another home after I save up some more money and see I can pull it off again and Maybe rent some out, but I have a lot to learn.

    Graham i just wanted to say a massive thank you to you for investing into people like me and helping give us the tools to create wealth. Even though we never met i consider you an awesome mentor and am currently 19 y/o saving to get enough money to invest with. I live in the UK and would like to move over to the US in my mid 20s. My question was should i solely focus on saving money for as long as possible until i can afford the down payment and renovations on a property or are there other investments which i should looking at making along the way. Also what would be a strong saving goal to use as capital to invest in a property? Either in dollars or Pounds since i will eventually move to the US.

    • @GrahamStephan
      @GrahamStephan  Před 6 lety +23

      Thank you so much! There are definitely other investments you could make along the way but it just depends what your goal is. If it's real estate, then save up for real estate. I pretty much just saved everything and dumped it all into property when I had enough, then everything else came second (IRA, 401K, etc). As for a savings goal, it depends - but I'd aim for 20% of the cost of the property + money for renovations + having an emergency fund for anything unexpected that comes up (and it will)

      Graham Stephan thanks a million for the fast response. Means the world.

Also is it worth holding out on investing until I move to the US from uk as I'd imagine it'd be a waste to invest in London only to move

    Hey graham this is a year ago maybe you wont see this, but i really want to ask you these
    1)if you are at a single family house, can you legally lease out all other parts of the house assuming you have separated entrance for tenants and live in a small room of it. Can you consider all rent revenue part of your income, how long do you have to wait
    2) when you refinance and ending up borrowing more money wouldnt the bank require you to have more income from work
    3) when you “do it again” will the bank see you already have a mortgage in your name, and but your job only covers your current mortgage, then they denied you for your second house?

    Think this is harder than people make out. Graham is skilled at this, is in the US where can get a 30 year fixed loan. It's not that risky for him.

      That's what I keep wondering. With these bigger loans all the time the repayments will be high.

      How do you cover the payments and still make any money? 🤔

    • @sengx
      @sengx Před 5 lety +5

      I'm assuming by having a larger down payment so you have more equity, and therefore lower monthly mortgage payments. Factor in all of the taxes, insurance, etc and find your total monthly bill. Then rent out your property to cover your total monthly bill with some profit on top. But im assuming alot of homework has to be done to find the right property in the right area that would allow for cashflow, so you don't overprice the amount of rent you charge. And so alot of research would have to be done before even buying the property. This is what I've picked up at least, from all of Graham's videos. I could be totally wrong, not an expert here but someone who hopes to invest one day.

    • @shane-fitzpadraig
      @shane-fitzpadraig Před 4 lety +3

      Rule of thumb is the property should rent for 1% of the purchase price. EX: $120,000 house/multi family should bring in 1,200 a month in rent. 80,000 house brings in $800 a month etc..

    • @rigomorus
      @rigomorus Před 4 lety

      ​@Rajeev Vij I believe is just a rule of thumb investors try to stick by for the numbers to make more sense when it comes to positive cash flow. But in your case Is not that the property is "undervalued" Is just that the rule cannot be applied to everything. The higher the price of the house the harder it is to stick to that rule of thumb. For the simple reason that even though house value can affect rent, ultimately rent is rather regulated by the area/rent market. If you really want to know the value of that property, look at what other homes in the area that fit the same criteria are selling for. But the true question is...is the home paid off? if not, are you getting positive cash flow? is mortgage + bills covered and you are left with a couple hundreds in your pocket? if so, then you win more in all aspects long term.. best to analyze all this before buying the property.

I am currently in a position where I feel like I could no longer continue working for the company as I am handling too many properties. I know that you haven't had the same experience as you started as a sales agent, and have continued to build your career from the ground up. I am not sure if I wanted to continue with this career path as I feel like an admin assistant who is continually dealing with questions, complains and fixing things within a strict deadline. I love the industry because it is a great opportunity to learn about investing. I am currently 22 and I have watched many "career" related videos which encourages people to follow their passion and work hard to achieve success. However, I feel very conflicted about continuing this job as I dreaded to go to work each day. What are your thoughts on this, Graham?

    • @GrahamStephan
      @GrahamStephan  Před 6 lety +3

      I'd talk with them first about your thoughts of being overwhelmed and see if there's a middle ground where you can enjoy your job a little more, continue making money, and continue learning. Otherwise might be best to look for other options, other companies, or consider looking into seeing if you can start your own property management company? Or at least work for yourself?

    @jessebain576 Před 5 lety

    This method seems very clever. It gets you out of a negative net worth just like that simply because you put the loan from the appraisal down on the house plus cash flow and you can just keep going.

  • @steppinupgaming1110
    @steppinupgaming1110 Před 6 lety +8

    At 6:50 your new loan would increase by $64,000, so why did you consider it as an increase in money? Doesn’t that mean you have another extra $64,000 to pay off? I’m new to this so I’m kinda confused right now, so refinancing is a way to get you the cash which you could use to pay the down payment of the next home, but you’ll still have to pay the $64,000 back in the long run as mortgage? Any replies would be greatly appreciated

  • @jacobpair3961
    @jacobpair3961 Před 5 lety

    The example he’s using is a good one, original home price 200k put 30k in it, 40k down. That’s 70k. So all together 230k. Get it cash flowing, appraised and boom 280k, cash out refinance 224k. 64k difference after using the 224k to pay off the 160k debt. Don’t sell property. Use 64k cash to buy another property. If he dicided to sell that one. He would get capital gains of 50k. 280k - 230k. 50k gains. Cash flow property plus have a good equity property. If you was going to use 64k on next property, then you gotta come out of pocket renovation costs then repeat.

  • @Nahhmah
    @Nahhmah Před 5 lety +3

    Easy. Buy a house cash for 60k, renovate additional 30k. You're now at 90k. Rent it. After 6 months, get appraised. Get a loan for 75% of that appraisal. You get your 90k back. Repeat the same steps.

    With this method, it can snowball into a real estate empire!! And all you'll need is the down-payment for the initial home purchase and maybe some money for the repairs correct?

    I have watched quite a few of your videos and you are always giving great tips and ur videos have my type of sarcasm. But one tip that can help your audience and it's really amazing actually. Benefits for veterans. I am making 3k a month going to school full time for free with the gi bill and I'm about to use a VA home loan which requires no down payment..amazing monetary benefits for veterans. Maybe bring that to light sometime. Its doubled my income the past 2 years going to school investing it. Getting the foundation of wealth planted! Keep up the good work

  • @2Easy2Draw
    @2Easy2Draw Před 6 lety +1

    I try to use the BRRRR strategy before, but when you go to the bank to refinance the house, they will look at your debt to income ratio right? If your debt to income ratio is already above 50%, how would you get approve for another loan?

    • @GrahamStephan
      @GrahamStephan  Před 6 lety +12

      They'll use your rental income or anticipated rental income from the main property which will offset your debt, allowing you to secure a mortgage on the next one.

    • @2Easy2Draw
      @2Easy2Draw Před 6 lety

      Liked* The bank will consider your rental income minus tax, insurance, vacancy and repair right? Say if the rental income is $800 but expense is $500 (tax,insurance vacancy, repair), So the bank would use $300 to offset the debt right? thanks!

    Can banks come after you if they feel you're over leveraging? And they feel you're no longer playing a "safe" enough game for them ?
    ..banks you have mortgages from of course

    • @GrahamStephan
      @GrahamStephan  Před 6 lety +6

      No. Once they give you a loan, it’s yours for the term of the loan regardless of what you do - as long as you pay on time.

    • @TeoGPoker
      @TeoGPoker Před 6 lety +1

      Graham Stephan But the mortgage works differently than the loan, doesn't it? The Bank still owns that house, until you pay it off. It's not your property until it's paid in full. If the bank wants to come after you for some reason, I'm sure they can find a way to legally do so.
      That's my understanding, correct me if I'm wrong?

    • @nothing-wp9ti
      @nothing-wp9ti Před 5 lety

      yes you are wrong. standard 30 year fixed mortgages can't be broken unless you default. other kinds of mortgages may have a minimum credit score, or other covenants if you agreed to them.

    • @CodyDunlap
      @CodyDunlap Před 5 lety

      As long as you pay what you owe each month you’re the bank’s best friend. If they know you’re an intelligent entrepreneur they’ll be pretty happy to lend you more and more money. They’re making 5% interest each year on ever dollar they lend you.
