Best Markets for BRRRR

Markets where value-add product still pencils after refinance — low entry price, ample housing stock, and landlord-friendly law.

Methodology

Composite of affordability (35%), yield (25%), landlord friendliness (20%), and population stability (20%). Higher-priced metros are penalized because refi proceeds rarely return investor capital.

Affordability 35% · Yield 25% · Landlord law 20% · Stability 20%
