Buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat is also known as the BRRRR method and was developed by real estate broker and investor David Greene. In 2019, he wrote the book on it, detailing every step in the process. This includes finding deals to buying under market value to rehabbing and setting rent prices. It also explains how to scale your business.
Whether you follow the BRRRR method or not, this book offers useful advice that can apply to other rental real estate strategies.
David Greene’s second book on this list, Long-Distance Real Estate Investing, explains that out-of-state investing used to be considered risky. However, the rules, markets, and technology have all changed, allowing investors to cast wider nets to find deals across the USA.
In his 2017 guide, Greene shows you how to build a solid team, how to better understand your market, and find more out-of-state deals. These include real estate owned (REO) properties, half-finished homes, short sales, and notices of default. He also shows you how to work through long-distance rehabs.
