Real estate investors used to build wealth the hard way: slowly saving money and sacrificing their current happiness for a future reward. This method produces results in the long run but what if there's a better, more efficient way that works in years instead of decades? Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat (BRRRR) is the five-part real estate investing strategy that makes financial freedom more attainable than ever: You buy a property under market value, add value with renovations, rent it out to tenants, complete a cash-out refinance, and then use that money to do it all over again.

Are you interested in real estate investing but there is nothing to buy that makes sense where you live? Are you tired of seeing the amazing success of others investing in markets better suited for buy and hold real estate and wish that could be you? Do you want to take advantage of wealth building opportunities but are frustrated by the fact there just isn't any way to do that until the next market crash? Real estate investing is one of the greatest vehicles to build wealth, but it doesn't make sense in every market. Some locations provide incredible returns, while others make it almost impossible to find a single property that profits. Traditionally, investing out of state has been considered risky and unwise.

Must Read/Listen
I very much enjoyed this book. I have probably listened through it 10x and each and every time I find something different to apply to my STR. I did listen at 1.2 speed so the narrator did not bother me at all. I have purchased several other STR books and none were even close to this one. I have recommended to several of my friends.

Great information
I wish we could rate the people who give bad reviews and give them a bad review for being soo sensitive lol. So great book and very informative. Also the narrator’s voice was not good but all I had to do was speed up the voice and boom not so bad and better to listen to. Easy fix.

Good info, slow narrator
The info was valuable but the narrator was super slow and I had to double time just to get him up to normal speed. But I learned so much and a lot of great tips for starting an AirBNB.

Chuck Full of Info
Danny does an amazing job of laying out Airbnb tips, facts, and advice in a clean and easy to listen format.
We listened to this book all the way through once before launching our Airbnb and then again right after launching our property and we have come out of the gates on fire. Very grateful for this great read!
Covid definitely has made an impact on the strategies and we hope to see a revision of the book tailored to longer stays
