Is the BRRRR Method Dead in 2026? (Meet the Slow BRRRR)
Everyone keeps telling us the BRRRR is dead. Rates are up, prices are high, and supposedly nobody’s making money anymore. We disagree. What died is the lazy 2021 version, where you could buy any ugly house at almost any price and the market bailed you out.
In this episode, Anna walks through the Danville property she just refinanced. She bought it for $64K, gutted to the studs, and got a special use permit to turn it into a duplex. It appraised $50K higher than expected, and she explains why they still chose to leave money in the deal. Then we break down the Slow BRRRR, a strategy Dave Meyer coined. You buy a property that cash flows from day one, and you only renovate and refinance once the current tenants move out.

Mid Term Rentals 101, What Agents Need to Know
In this Agent to Investor podcast episode, Jillyan explains why she prefers midterm rentals (30+ days) as a “middle ground” between short- and long-term rentals, with furnished units, utilities included, signed leases, and full tenant screening. She shares how she discovered MTRs through personal finance content and BiggerPockets, started by subleasing a unit, and later expanded into arbitrage and co-hosting.
The discussion covers common tenant “avatars” beyond travel nurses (insurance relocations, corporate relocations, airport and other workers, families moving, and people displaced by renovations), property selection (often 4-bed/2-bath), pricing expectations (about 1.5x long-term rent), and reducing vacancy with listing platforms like Airbnb and Furnished Finder plus email blasts. Jillian details furnishing priorities (comfort, sturdiness, blackout curtains, Wi-Fi, smart TV) and warns through a damage story that guaranteed payment doesn’t replace strict screening criteria.
