From what I’m seeing across BRRRR deals in the Triad (Greensboro / Winston-Salem / High Point), most experienced investors target a refinance LTV in the 70–75% range.Here’s why that band tends to work in practice:• 70% LTV — Most conservative and most resilient.This usually allows investors to:– Recapture the bulk of their rehab + acquisition capital– Maintain strong DSCR even if rates shift– Absorb a soft appraisal without sinking the dealMost lenders also price better in this range, which helps long-term cashflow.• 75% LTV — The “industry standard” for BRRRR refinances.This tends to be the sweet spot where:– You recover enough capital to recycle into the next project– Debt service stays manageable– Cashflow remains positive even with today’s higher rate environmentA lot of Triad investors settle here because the rents usually support it.• 80% LTV — Only works when the rehab is tight and the ARV is rock solid.You can pull more cash out, but:– DSCR compresses fast– Cashflow can get thin– Appraisal risk becomes much higherMost investors only go this high on lighter rehabs or when the numbers are extremely predictable.In short:70% = safest,75% = most common,80% = possible but narrow.Always interested to see what other markets are trending, but these are the ranges that consistently work for BRRRR investors here.
