BRRRR: The Real Estate Growth Strategy That Actually Works—When You Do It Right

There’s a reason the BRRRR method—Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat—has become a go-to strategy for Canadian investors looking to scale quickly without constantly injecting new capital.

Done right, it’s a flywheel for portfolio growth.

Done wrong? It’s an expensive education.

If you’re just getting started (or stuck on your second deal), this guide will help you avoid the common pitfalls and start executing like a pro. Check out the full BRRRR Playbook here → Read the Guide

What Makes BRRRR So Powerful?

At its core, BRRRR is about recycling your capital. You buy undervalued properties, rehab them to boost value, rent them to establish income, refinance to pull out equity—and then do it all over again.

But here’s what separates the investors who scale from those who stall:

  • Precision over passion – BRRRR success isn’t about enthusiasm. It’s about executing every phase strategically.
  • Timing is everything – Nail your appraisal and refinance windows, or risk leaving tens of thousands trapped in the property.
  • Cash flow matters – A bad tenant can delay your refinance, derail your returns, and lock up your next down payment.

Avoid the Rookie Mistakes

Most investors mess up one of three things:

  1. Buying too high – They overestimate the After-Repair Value (ARV).
  2. Underestimating rehab – Projects go over budget and timelines slip.
  3. Refinancing too soon (or too late) – Poor timing kills momentum and limits capital recovery.

The BRRRR Playbook walks you through how to get each phase right—with real examples, timelines, and the formulas that separate winners from wishful thinkers.
