The formula

Know exactly what the calculator is doing.

Cash left in = purchase + rehab + acquisition costs + refinance costs - refinance proceeds

The refinance is constrained by the supported stabilized value, lender LTV, seasoning, property performance, borrower requirements, and eligible costs.

A durable workflow

Use the result as a decision aid, not a verdict.

01

Underwrite the acquisition

Use the all-in cash required, not only purchase and construction.

02

Support stabilized value and rent

Use relevant sales, leases, lender rules, and realistic operating expenses.

03

Test cash left in and operations

A successful refinance still needs sustainable cash flow, reserves, and debt coverage.

Important limits

What this calculation cannot know.

  • Refinance proceeds are not guaranteed and may be limited by cost basis, seasoning, appraisal, DSCR, or borrower eligibility.
  • Cash left in can be negative when modeled proceeds exceed cost; treat that as an underwriting signal, not a promise of cash-out.
  • Operating expenses should include reserves and management economics even when self-managed.

Common questions

Understand the terms before using the output.

What does BRRRR stand for?

Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat.

How is cash left in calculated?

Add acquisition, renovation, carrying, and refinance costs, then subtract actual refinance proceeds.

What if cash left in is zero?

That means modeled proceeds equal modeled invested cash. It does not prove the refinance will fund or the property will operate safely.

Should vacancy be included?

Yes. Scheduled rent should be reduced for a supportable vacancy and credit-loss allowance.

What return should I evaluate?

Review cash left in, monthly cash flow, debt coverage, reserves, leverage, equity, and downside scenarios together.
