Fix-to-Rent (BRRRR) loans in Houston, TX

The short answer

TSG Capital arranges brrrr loans in Houston, TX — business-purpose financing on non-owner-occupied investment property, placed through our network of lenders rather than lent directly. TSG Capital arranges fix-to-rent (BRRRR) financing — the two-loan stack that powers Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat. A deep, liquid investor market with strong rental demand and steady flip volume across a sprawling metro. Request a no-obligation term sheet to see terms for your Houston deal.

BRRRR financing for Houston investors

The Houston metro spans Harris, Fort Bend, and Montgomery counties — no zoning, a diverse job base, and neighborhoods at every price point make it one of the most active business-purpose lending markets in the country.

BRRRR — Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat — is the strategy of forcing equity into a distressed property and then refinancing to pull your capital back out so you can do it again. It requires two loans working together, and the whole strategy lives or dies on how well they are structured to hand off. TSG Capital arranges both sides of that stack and keeps them aligned, so you are not discovering at refinance time that the numbers do not work.

The first loan is short-term rehab capital, much like a fix & flip loan: it funds the acquisition and the renovation budget, sized against the after-repair value (often up to roughly 90% of purchase and 100% of rehab, capped against ARV), released in draws. Once the property is renovated and rented, the second loan — a long-term DSCR cash-out refinance — pays off the rehab loan and returns your invested capital, qualifying on the property's rent-to-payment coverage rather than your personal income, typically up to about 75% of the stabilized value.

Houston brrrr loan FAQ

Do you arrange brrrr loans in Houston, TX?+

Yes. TSG Capital arranges brrrr loans on non-owner-occupied investment property in Houston, TX, placing your deal through our network of business-purpose lenders. Submit the property and your numbers for a no-obligation term sheet.

What is a BRRRR loan?+

BRRRR is not one loan but a two-loan strategy: a short-term rehab loan to Buy and Rehab, then a long-term DSCR cash-out Refinance after you Rent — so you can pull your capital back out and Repeat. TSG Capital arranges both sides.

How much of my capital does the refinance return?+

It depends on the gap between your all-in cost and the stabilized value. Because DSCR cash-out refinances typically go up to about 75% of value, the more equity your rehab creates, the more (sometimes all) of your invested capital comes back.

Why use one broker for both loans?+

The rehab loan and the refinance have to hand off cleanly — leverage, timeline, and seasoning all have to line up. Arranging both through TSG Capital lets us pressure-test the full-cycle math before you buy and match lenders whose terms fit together.

Do I need to season the property before refinancing?+

Usually, yes. Most DSCR lenders require a seasoning period before a cash-out at full value; the rule varies by lender, and matching you to one whose seasoning fits your timeline is part of the work.
