First BRRRR in Charleston

Frank Thomas
Posted

Hi Everyone,

I am planning on taking the step on doing my first BRRRR in the Charleston area. I plan on using a HELOC for the down payment and rehab.
I have a team in the area to do the rehab and a trusted realtor. 
I’m wondering how much down payment I should put down on say a 200k house. What are the benefits of putting more than 20% down? 
thanks everyone!!!

Hi Frank - 

Congrats on taking the first steps! For a $200k property, the minimum down payment will depend on your lender and financing terms. Are you currently working with one? 

Typically it’s around 20%, espeically if this is your first one. Also, putting down more than 20% can lower your monthly payments, improve cash flow, and potentially get you better terms.

Happy to connect and best of luck!
