Can You Refinance a Florida BRRRR as Soon as Rehab Is Done?
Potentially, yes. When the renovation is complete, Get Brick Capital can match a Florida BRRRR scenario to wholesale DSCR programs that do not require an additional ownership seasoning period before using the new after-repair value. This is different from a traditional cash-out refinance where no renovation occurred, which currently carries a 3-month seasoning requirement in our program set.
The key distinction:
Completed renovation + new ARV can qualify as a renovation refinance. No completed renovation means the ordinary seasoning rules apply.
What Florida BRRRR Investors Need for the Refinance
- Completed renovation with the property in lendable condition
- An appraisal supporting the new after-repair value
- Rental income or appraiser market rent that supports the requested DSCR structure
- A qualifying FICO score for the selected program
- Insurance that satisfies the capital partner's requirements
- Clear title and a payoff for the existing hard money, bridge, or acquisition loan
Florida Insurance Can Change the DSCR Math
Florida insurance is especially important because the DSCR denominator includes taxes, insurance, and HOA along with principal and interest. A property can look strong based on rent and still lose DSCR capacity if the insurance quote is materially higher than expected. For condos, HOA dues can have the same effect. Run the deal with realistic insurance and association costs before assuming the ARV alone determines your cash-out amount.
Do You Need a Tenant or Lease After Rehab?
Not always. Some renovation-refinance programs can qualify the property using appraiser market rent instead of requiring an executed lease. That matters when the property has just been completed and you want to refinance before placing the first tenant. The appraisal still has to support both value and rent assumptions.
How Much Equity Can You Pull Out?
The final loan amount is constrained by the applicable LTV tier and the property's DSCR. Strong credit and stronger DSCR can support higher leverage. Get Brick Capital has expanded renovation-refinance options that can reach up to 80% LTV in qualifying scenarios, subject to loan size, credit, property, state, and capital-partner guidelines. The loan is never based on ARV alone.

Submit Deal Summary →Florida BRRRR vs. Ordinary Cash-Out Refinance
A completed rehab can materially change how the transaction is treated. If you simply bought a stabilized rental and want to pull equity out, review the ordinary DSCR cash-out refinance rules. If you improved the property and are refinancing from acquisition or renovation financing into long-term debt, the BRRRR refinance structure is the better starting point.
