BRRRR calculator with a lender-accurate refi

Most BRRRR calculators stop at ARV times 75%. This one checks each refi program month by month: title seasoning, the lesser-of-cost rule inside six months, the 12-month existing lien rule, minimum DSCR and loan minimums. Then it picks the path that leaves the least cash in the deal.

How to use it

  1. Enter price, rehab and ARV

    Bought with hard money at 90% of the price and 100% of the rehab, the way most BRRRRs start.

  2. Enter the rent

    The monthly rent once it is leased. DSCR lenders size the loan off it.

  3. Set rehab months

    The refi clock starts at purchase. Rent starts after the rehab and a month to lease up.

  4. Read the refi

    See which program wins, in which month, and how much cash stays in. Terms are illustrative assumptions, not a quote or commitment to lend.

Questions

What is cash left in?

After the refi pays off the first loan and closing costs, it is your money still in the house. Zero or less means you got all of it back.

Why does the month matter?

Many DSCR lenders use the lower of the appraisal or your cost inside six months of purchase. Fannie Mae cash-out needs six months on title, and the loan being paid off generally must be 12 months old. Refi too early and the loan comes in smaller.

Is the refi rate a quote?

No. Rates and terms are illustrative planning assumptions. Real terms depend on the lender, your credit, the property and the market on the day you lock.
