Re: BRRRR

Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat – How many times can you do that in your career?

The answer?

As many as you want.

It’s not often I come across an article online that I really enjoy.

Here is an article filled with common sense, realistic expectations and my favorite acronym – BRRRR.

You can also find it here at this link –   https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidgreene/2018/10/30/how-to-prepare-for-the-next-real-estate-downturn/

In one of the best paragraphs of the article we find this gem:

“In today’s market, we see a much different scenario. I work as a real estate agent in the San Francisco Bay area, and I’ve yet to see any funky, clearly foolish loans from any of the buyers I’ve worked with. Rates are generally fixed over 30 years, do not adjust, and are absolutely reasonable based on the buyer’s income. It’s obvious that home prices are up, but what’s not often talked about is how wages are up, too. Let’s not forget that there have been 13 years of wage increases since 2006. That’s a pretty healthy number. Prices may be higher, but they’ve increased in proportion to wages as well. The danger of a massive wave of loan defaults hitting the market all at once isn’t all that high.”

Did you catch that? “13 years of wage increases” is something we aren’t hearing too much about tucked inside the doom and gloom slowdown headlines.

“With interest rates sitting near record lows a few years ago, millions of borrowers refinanced their home mortgages, saving billions of dollars in aggregate. But millions of borrowers didn’t, and now they can’t see those same savings.

Since 2016, when rates were at rock bottom, 5.9 million borrowers who could have benefited from a refinance did not apply for one. This year alone, 2.2 million who could have saved money with a refinance no longer can. The report only counted those who would likely have qualified, having high FICO scores and at least 20 percent equity in their homes.”
