BRRR

Practical notes for using Koreograph to value, finance, track and compare property opportunities.

Definition

BRRR is commonly used to mean Buy, Refurbish, Rent, Refinance. It describes a strategy where works are used to increase the property value, then refinancing may release capital after completion.

How it affects a property deal

A BRRR deal depends on the relationship between purchase price, refurb cost, after-repair value, rent, finance cost and refinance terms. The strategy can improve capital recycling, but it is sensitive to valuation and cost assumptions.

What to check

  • After-repair value evidence.
  • Refurb budget and contingency.
  • Bridge or phase finance cost.
  • Rent after works.
  • Refinance LTV, DSCR and lender criteria.
