Where BRRRR breaks in practice
Siloed spreadsheets
Purchase and rehab live in one tab, rent in another, and refinance assumptions somewhere else - easy to miss the interaction effects.
Refinance guesswork
If ARV or rent is wrong, your cash-out and seasoning plan will not survive first contact with an appraiser.
Local market fit
BRRRR works best where entry basis, rent, and stable values align - that is a neighborhood question, not a slogan.
