743: Better Than BRRRR!? How to Make $200K+ on ONE Deal w/Janice Stitzer

BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast

The BRRRR method is one of the most celebrated, highly-effective real estate investing strategies the world has ever known. Never heard of it? BRRRR stands for “Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat” and is a simple framework to allow any real estate investor, no matter their skill level, to get into real estate investing for no money at the end of the deal. This down payment recycling system allows you to use the same amount of cash to build a real estate portfolio that’ll expand to infinity. And for a while, the BRRRR method was yet to be bested—until now.

Janice Stitzer may have cracked the code. As a house-hacking California native, Janice was pushed out of the golden state right before the last crash when housing prices were high, cash flow was low, and traffic was at a standstill. She and her husband decided to boost their quality of life by relocating to Colorado, where they started a construction company and a BRRRR-ing empire. Then in 2008, when lending screeched to a halt, her BRRRRs died down. But some years later, a new idea hatched—the BRRRR 2.0.

Using this simple strategy, Janice got a brand new short-term rental that cash flows like crazy, all while gaining $200K in equity before her first guest checked in. This repeatable system can be used by almost anyone and doesn’t require much experience. With just five properties, this “BRRRR 2.0” investing style could make you a millionaire. But you won’t know how it works if you don’t tune in! So, stick around!
