Brandon Kunasek Using the BRRRR Method on Oceanfront Condos — Anyone Else Doing This Near the Coast?
10 November 2025 | 10 replies
I work primarily with investors focused on short-term rental–friendly oceanfront properties, and something interesting has been happening here:Many of my clients are applying a modified BRRRR strategy to dated oceanfront condos — essentially:Buy older, underpriced units in established resorts → Renovate to STR-grade finishes → Rent on Airbnb/VRBO → Refinance after 12–18 months based on new income comps → Repeat with equity pull-out capital.Even though condos can be trickier with financing and HOA dynamics, the math has worked surprisingly well when:The HOA allows STR operations.Renovations target higher ADR and occupancy.The appraisal reflects short-term rental income rather than long-term leases.I’ve noticed this approach works best when you treat each condo almost like a “micro–multifamily” — tracking cash flow, management efficiency, and appreciation just like you would for a small apartment deal.Curious — has anyone else here applied the BRRRR method to condos or coastal properties instead of single-family or multifamily units?
