Note:

Most North Texas SFR rentals underwrite to 4-7% cap rate today; financed cash-on-cash of 5%+ is healthy in this rate environment. Mali helps you stress-test deals against rent comps and HOA rules before you offer.

Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat. Underwrite the full cycle to see capital recycled, post-refi cash flow, and whether you hit the classic 75% all-in basis target.

Buy

Rehab

Months before a lender will refi against ARV instead of cost basis (usually 6-12).

Refinance

Rent

Applied to ARV. North Texas effective rates run ~2.0-2.7%.

Cash left in deal after refi

$84,950

Capital trapped. Improve ARV or rehab efficiency to pull more out.

Holding period (4 mo) is under your 6-mo seasoning window, so this refi is sized on cost basis, not ARV. Most lenders won't lend against appraised ARV until the property is seasoned.

Note:

The classic BRRRR rule of thumb is to keep all-in basis ≤ 75% of ARV so a 75% LTV refi pulls all your capital back out. Mali helps source distressed and value-add deals across east Plano, Garland, Mesquite, and Princeton that fit this model.
