How BRRR works

Buy

Buy below market value, often with cash or short-term bridging finance.

Refurbish

Add value through works that lift the property's market valuation.

Refinance

Remortgage against the higher value to pull your original capital back out.

Rent

Let to a tenant so the mortgage and costs are covered, leaving cashflow.

The number that matters: money left in the deal. It equals your total all-in cost minus the new mortgage. The lower it is, the more capital you free up for the next purchase.
