Show notes
Today’s guest is buying a perfect BRRRR tomorrow. Even with today’s interest rates, even in this housing market, Zach Kepes is still making serious money with the strategy everyone has assumed is dead—the BRRRR method. He’ll walk away with tens of thousands in equity, get a trophy rental property that will bring in rent for decades, and add to his already impressive 300+ single-family home portfolio.
He’s been BRRRRing for over 20 years, and he’s not stopping in 2026, especially when everyone else is. The question is…how is he still doing it?
Zach is one of the only humans on the planet who can match James’s deal-junkie energy. He’s been buying rentals since 2002, using the same strategy, but with different prices, financing, and renovations. Zach says it loud and clear: the BRRRR method still works in 2026, and he’s showing you his exact buy box to find perfect BRRRR properties, how to check comps to confirm they work, and how he pays for them, refinances them, and what new BRRRR investors can do today to start.
If the BRRRR method is so dead, how is Zach still making money with it?
