How to read a Charleston BRRR

Buy

Basis includes purchase plus buy-side closing. Cash purchases recycle cleanest; financed buys must clear the acquisition payoff on refi.

Rehab

Budget for rental-grade finish plus months of tax, insurance, and utilities while vacant. Soft costs kill thin deals.

Rent

NOI after vacancy and a realistic OpEx load (management, maintenance, insurance, taxes). Military and hospital demand supports many LTR pockets.

Refinance

Typical investment refi targets ~70–75% of appraised ARV. Cash left near zero is the BRRR win - monthly cash flow is the hold thesis.

Honest framing. A BRRR that only looks good on purchase price is not a deal. If cash left after refi is still five figures and monthly cash flow is thin, you are holding a leveraged rental with trapped capital - fine if that is the plan, but call it what it is.

Common Questions

BRRR questions, answered plainly.

What does BRRR mean?+

Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance (sometimes a fifth R for Repeat). You purchase a discounted property, renovate to rent-ready, place a tenant, then refinance based on the after-repair value so most of your cash comes back out to use on the next deal.

What is a good BRRR in the Charleston area?+

Look for a purchase-plus-rehab basis that supports a 70–75% ARV refinance with little cash left, positive cash flow after a realistic OpEx load, and DSCR lenders will fund (often 1.2x+). North Charleston, Goose Creek, Summerville, and select Berkeley pockets are common LTR hunting grounds; beach STR rules are a different underwrite.

How is BRRR MAO different from the 70% rule?+

The classic 70% rule (70% of ARV minus rehab) is a flip heuristic. BRRR MAO solves for the purchase price that leaves your target cash in the deal after a refinance at your LTV - usually a higher ceiling than a flip MAO when rents and rates cooperate, and a lower one when they do not.

Can Jennifer help me buy and later list the same property?+

Yes. She represents investors from acquisition through renovation coordination and eventual resale when the hold period ends - one strategy across the full loop. Send a deal below or start on the investor page.
