# Analyze a BRRRR

> Enter rehab, ARV, refinance terms and rental numbers in Deal Analyzer to see how much cash you get back and leave in a BRRRR deal.

Use the **BRRRR** strategy (buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat) when you plan to renovate a property, rent it, and refinance to pull your cash back out. This page covers the sections specific to BRRRR. The steps every strategy shares are in [Run the numbers](https://docs.reinvestorhub.ai/guides/find-and-evaluate-a-property/run-the-numbers/).

## What you need

| | Fields |
|---|---|
| **Required** | Property Address, City, State, ZIP Code, Purchase Price, ARV (After Repair Value), Expected Monthly Rent |

Required fields have a red asterisk, and **Analyze My Deal** stays disabled until they are filled in. If some fields are missing, you see **Score withheld** instead of a Deal Score, with a banner listing what to add. If you check **Cash Purchase**, the loan fields are not needed.

## Enter your BRRRR

1. **Choose BRRRR**

   In **Deal Analyzer**, under **Select Your Investment Strategy**, select **BRRRR**, then pick the property address under **Property Information**.

2. **Enter Purchase & Financing, Rehab Budget and ARV**

   These sections work the same way as in a flip: **Purchase Price**, **Down Payment %**, **Closing Costs**, **Interest Rate %** and **Loan Term (Years)**; a **Total Rehab Amount** or **Use Line Items**, with an optional **Include 10% Contingency** and **Construction Financing**; and your **ARV (After Repair Value)**, with **Check Comps** to help you set it. The details are in [Analyze a fix and flip](https://docs.reinvestorhub.ai/guides/analyze-a-deal/fix-and-flip/) and [Check comps and set ARV](https://docs.reinvestorhub.ai/guides/analyze-a-deal/check-comps-and-set-arv/).

3. **Enter Holding Costs**

   Under **Holding Costs**, enter the **Holding Period (Months)**, the time between purchase and refinance, and your **Monthly Carrying Costs** during that period.

4. **Enter your Refinance Information**

   Under **Refinance Information**, choose a **Refinance Method**: **Based on LTV %** or **Fixed Loan Amount**. Enter the **Refinance LTV %** (a percentage of the ARV) or the **Refinance Loan Amount**. Then enter the **Interest Rate %** for the long-term loan and your **Refinance Closing Costs**. A **Refinance Summary** shows the ARV and the resulting refinance loan as you type. **Chat with Lenny** opens the financing coach.

5. **Enter your Rental Information**

   Enter the **Expected Monthly Rent**. Then add **Annual Property Tax**, **Annual Insurance** and **Property Management %** (a percentage of rent). Optionally add **Owner-Paid Utilities (Monthly)** (Gas & Electric, Water, Sewer, Garbage, Lawn & Snow), the reserves **Vacancy Rate %** and **Maintenance Reserve %**, and **Monthly HOA**.

6. **Select Analyze My Deal**

   The button is in the results column on the right.

For a duplex, triplex, fourplex, multifamily or **SFR + ADU** property, a **Unit Configuration** section appears where you enter each unit's bedrooms, bathrooms, **Rent/Mo** and **Market Rent**. The monthly rent is then filled in from the unit rents, and a **Total Monthly Rent** line adds them up.

> **What you should see:** a **Deal Score** card with a number from 0.0 to 10.0 and a badge, followed by your BRRRR results.

## Read the results

The **Investment Summary** shows:

- **Monthly Cash Flow** and **Annual Cash Flow**: rent minus expenses and the mortgage. Negative numbers are red.
- **Cash-on-Cash ROI**: the yearly return on the cash you put in.
- **Initial Cash Out of Pocket**: what you spend before the refinance.
- **Expected Cash Back When You Refinance**: how much of that cash the refinance returns.
- **Money You're Leaving in the Deal**: the cash still tied up after the refinance. This is the number to watch for a true BRRRR.
- **Cap Rate (on ARV)**.

Below that, four sections you can open and close: **Purchase Breakdown**, **Rehab Breakdown**, **Refinance Details** (initial loan, refinance LTV and rate, new loan amount, net capital recovered, monthly mortgage after the refinance and remaining capital in the deal) and **Rental Income & Expenses (Monthly)**.

The badge next to the score reads **Excellent Deal**, **Good Deal**, **Fair Deal** or **Poor Deal**. See [Deal Score](https://docs.reinvestorhub.ai/reference/field-reference/deal-score/) for how to use it.

> **Tip:** Try a higher **Refinance LTV %** or a higher ARV and select **Re-Analyze Deal** to see how much more cash comes back.

## Save the deal to your pipeline

Select **Save to Pipeline**, at the top of the page or under the Deal Score. Fill in every required field first.

> **What you should see:** the message "Deal saved to pipeline!", then Deal Pipeline opens with your deal in the **Analyzing** stage.
