1 BRRRR Strategy: Formula to Purchase 5 Rental Properties in 2 Years And Payoff In 7

Among the main reasons why individuals become thinking about realty investing is the appeal of financial freedom. Purchase enough realty to cover your personal expenditures and voilà, you're financially independent. For some, among the hardest parts might be finding out how to identify whether the rental residential or commercial property in concern is good investment.

There are numerous strategies and techniques to carry out in order to accomplish the task of financial independence, like Josh Sheets' combination of personal and professional funding, Fernando Aires' three principles to accomplishing financial self-reliance, dedicating to this simple 4 step process, and passively purchasing apartment syndications, amongst lots of others.

However, the fastest financial liberty technique I've ever discovered is Andrew Holmes' 2-5-7 method. He has effectively implemented this strategy, which is a variation of the prominent BRRRR technique (buy, rehabilitation, rent, re-finance, repeat) on over 160 residential or commercial properties. In our recent conversation, he outlines, in severe detail, his precise step-by-step 2-5-7 formula for how he buys a minimum of 5 residential or commercial properties every 2 years and pays them off in 7.

What is the 2-5-7 Investment Formula?

Andrew's investment technique complies with what he calls the "2-5-7" formula. In 2 years, the objective is to collect a minimum of 5 residential or commercial properties and using the capital pay them off in 7 years. Andrew said, "The formula doesn't change, it's simply the number of residential or commercial properties, just how much capital you want to develop, and you scale based upon that."

In order to attain his specific financial investment goals, Andrew has the following 4 additional requirements at are not always included in the original BRRRR Strategy:

1. Deal Location - "Most individuals, whenever they own rental residential or commercial properties, they tend to purchase ... in locations that are rather challenging. We have a various philosophy, which is we tend to purchase in support locations, ideal next to what we would call premium locations. Basically, if premium areas are A, we tend to buy B- or C+."

2. Minimum 25% "Whenever we're buying a residential or commercial property, after rehabilitation, it needs to have a minimum of 25% equity."

3. Small Ranches- "We focus on buying small, three-bedroom, one and one-and-a-half bath cattle ranches."

4. $400 to $450 capital- "They need to cash flow to the tune of $400 to $450 per residential or commercial property after all expenses, consisting of management."

Similar to the BRRRR Strategy, you begin with completion objective, which will likely be the quantity of cash circulation required to cover your individual expenses, your current salary, or your ideal lifestyle, and then reverse engineer your 2-5-7 method to identify what market to purchase, just how much equity you need (more on that later), the residential or commercial property type, and the month-to-month capital requirement for each deal.

Example Deal

Here's an example offer Andrew supplied to see the 2-5-7 formula in action:

" Let's state you're buying a bread and butter residential or commercial property: three-bedroom, one bath cattle ranch for $65,000. You're going to put $20,000 to $25,000 into rehabbing the residential or commercial property. You have a bring cost of another $5,000 to $6,000, so you're all in expense into the residential or commercial property is somewhere around $90,000."

" This is the most crucial part, which to me [differentiates] investing versus what the majority of people do, and that is the residential or commercial property needs to assess on a conservative refinance appraisal for $120,000 to $130,000. That's the crucial thing - that's the only way you're going to be able to get all the capital that you put into the residential or commercial property out, so that you can efficiently recycle the same cash over and over and over."

" So the residential or commercial property assesses for about $125,000. The lending institution is going to provide you about 75% of assessed value ... That's the essential thing. That's the benchmark individuals have to take a look at. If the residential or commercial property assesses for $120,000 to $135,000, now they'll offer you the $90,000 to $95,000 re-financed."

" So you take that loan, you pay your very first loan provider off - the loan you utilized to purchase the residential or commercial property and to do the rehab - and then you just recycle the very same funds. Or if it's your own money, that's fine also, but you just duplicate that process over and over and over, [with the] goal being you need to get to a minimum of 5."

How to Finance the Properties, Completing the "Buy" Step of the popular BRRRR Strategy?

On the front-end, Andrew explained that there are 3 major methods he funds his deals:

1. Partnership- "Primary, you can partner with someone that has the capital and do a 50/50 joint endeavor. They buy the residential or commercial property, they put up the cash for capital [and] you're the driving force. You're doing all the work, but you're quiting 50% of the returns. That's where I started initially"

2. Hard Money Lender- "The second way to do it is the traditional path, which is you borrow money from a tough cash lender, and put in some of your own cash."

3. Private Money- "The 3rd route, which we tend to use the most [is] private cash ... Join your regional REIOs, join the regional groups
