Mastering the BRRR Strategy: CJ Calio's Path to Cash Flow and Success

CJ Calio is a successful real estate investor known for his expertise in the buy and hold strategy. His journey began with a focus on cash flow and finding a reliable stream of income to replace his wife's employment. Calio and his wife found a system that worked well for them and continuously enhanced it. They became experts in the buy and hold strategy, but later expanded their horizons to include the BER strategy (buy rehab rent, refinance, and repeat). Implementing this strategy, Calio scaled his portfolio in both single-family and small multifamily properties.

As their portfolio grew, Calio noticed that his wife was becoming overwhelmed. However, their expertise and confidence led them to explore new opportunities in the real estate market. Leveraging their experience in the residential space, they ventured into commercial real estate investing. Calio and his wife successfully scaled their business in commercial properties such as retail, strip malls, office spaces, and medical spaces. Although the scale was larger, they continued to implement their tried and tested strategy for success.
