The BRRRR method is a powerful, wealth-building real estate investing strategy that’s exploded with popularity lately. Although it’s been practiced by successful property investors for decades, only recently has BRRRR emerged into mainstream headlines.

The main buzz around the BRRRR strategy in real estate boils down to this -- you can buy rental properties and build a large income-producing portfolio without running out of money.
