Free Real Estate Investor Guides

Free fix-and-flip, DSCR rental, and BRRRR strategy guides for real estate investors. Download insights and get pre-qualified with Jaken Finance Group.

Three guides, three strategies

Each guide below covers one financing strategy end to end. The fix-and-flip financing playbook walks through hard money leverage, ARV math, draw schedules, and scope of work preparation — the mechanics of funding and closing a flip. The DSCR rental loan playbook covers qualifying on property cash flow instead of W-2 income: ratio math, portfolio stacking, and BRRRR-to-DSCR exits. The BRRRR strategy guide ties the two together — hard money on the buy and rehab, DSCR refinance on the exit — with portfolio math and market playbooks for Chicago, DC, Atlanta, and Indianapolis.

How to pair these with the calculators and guides

The guides explain the strategy; the free calculators test it against your actual deal. Reading the flip playbook? Run your numbers through the fix and flip calculator to see whether loan-to-cost, carry, and margin hold up. Working through the DSCR playbook or BRRRR guide, use the DSCR calculator to check whether projected rent covers debt service at refinance.

When you are ready to submit a deal, the process borrower guides cover the two documents that matter most on a rehab loan: building a scope of work and navigating the draw schedule. Approval here is asset-based — credit is reviewed, but ARV, loan-to-cost, scope, and exit strategy drive the decision — so a well-prepared file moves faster than a strong resume. When the numbers work, get pre-qualified.
