Refurbish: After acquiring the property, the investor undertakes renovations and improvements to increase its value. This could involve anything from minor cosmetic upgrades to major structural repairs, depending on the condition of the property and the investor's budget. The goal is to enhance the property's appeal and functionality, ultimately allowing it to command higher rents or resale value.

Rent: With the property renovated and refinanced, the final step is to rent it out to tenants. The rental income generated from tenants provides ongoing cash flow and helps cover expenses such as mortgage payments, property taxes, insurance, maintenance, and property management fees. The goal is to achieve positive cash flow, where the rental income exceeds the expenses associated with the property, resulting in a steady stream of passive income for the investor.

Refinance: Seasoned investors may go on to refinance the property with a new loan based on its higher appraised value. The proceeds from the refinancing are used to repay the initial acquisition and renovation costs, effectively recycling the investor's capital for future investments. Ideally, the new loan should provide favourable terms, such as a lower interest rate or longer repayment period, to improve the property's cash flow and overall return on investment.

By repeating this process with multiple properties over time, investors can build a portfolio of income-producing real estate assets while maximizing their return on investment through value-add strategies and leverage.
