2 Key Pillars of BRRRR

August 13, 2020/in Finance Tools, Resources

BRRRR is great, but did you know there are 2 key pillars of BRRRR that most investors don’t know about? Whether you’re just starting out with real estate investing, or you’re an ol’ pro, you should consider taking advantage of these crucial steps to ensure you don’t miss out on cash boosting opportunities.

Take a look at this video and learn about the two key pillars of the BRRRR method.

If you invest in rental properties, then you need to:

  1. Buy under market properties (i.e. wholesale).
  2. Use the Quick to Buy, Quick to Refi strategy.

These steps help you maximize your loan amount while limiting the cash you need to put into each deal. They also ensure you’re able to buy more deals and build your portfolio at a faster pace.

Through research and conversations, we discovered many investors are confused about how to get going on a deal with little to no money. So, we’ve taken a step back and tried to figure out why that is.

We found out many investors don’t understand the power of the appraisal/ARV. When you get into a long-term loan, you get to use the appraisal value/ARV.  It doesn’t matter what you originally paid for the property or the amount of money you put in to fix it up. As long as you set up the loan properly, then you should be able to use the appraised value/ARV.

If you’re ready to maximize your cash flow, capture lots of free equity, and live the life you want, check out the full video.

Investor Mortgage Report 6.16.2020

June 17, 2020/in Motivation, Resources, Tips

What We Know:

Rates on the conventional side have maintained strong with rates in the low 3’s. If you’re still wondering whether or not you should refinance, we’re going to dive into what we call ‘The Tipping Point Rate.’

This week, we’re seeing more larger non-conventional companies dipping their toes back into the investor loan water. This gentle ease back in helps increase liquidity, but it still comes at a price:  Lower LTVs and higher costs.

What This Means for You:

There is an exact rate where it’s wise to refinance. We call this ‘The Tipping Point Rate.’ This specific rate is the point where you won’t pay a penny more in principal and interest over the life of the loan.

Calculate the tipping point rate on your refinance

Going above this point might increase your cash flow, but it will end up costing you more in the long run. Sometimes this means it’s better to stick with what you have now.  We’re focused on putting more money in your pocket and less in the bank’s pocket.

This is for investors looking to increase monthly cash flow without adding lifetime cost of debt. So, if you’re solely concerned about your monthly cash flow, this probably isn’t the program for you.

So how does this work? Let’s take a look at an example.

Joe is an investor who is looking at refinancing to increase his cash flow every month. But not if it means paying tens of thousands of dollars extra to the bank in principal and interest.

Joe has been paying his current mortgage for 5 years. If he keeps the loan until it’s paid in full, he’ll end up paying $360k in payments over the next 25 years.

Joe wants to know the exact rate that he can refinance to a new 30-year fixed without increasing his amount owed. If it exceeds $360k, then he won’t refinance.

By knowing this exact rate, he can stretch his payments out and lower his interest rate without paying a penny more over the life of the loan.

How do we find Joe’s Tipping Point Rate?

Luckily, we have a handy program that can calculate just that.  If you would like to know your own Tipping Point Rate, send us an email!  We’ll run the report specifically for you and your property!

Note: Investor Real Estate Loans doesn’t currently lend in all states, but we are always happy to help and make sure you understand your numbers!
