Strong 88/100

Jackson is one of the better BRRRR markets in the country right now — strong yield, stable to appreciating prices, refis pencil.

TL;DR — data signals
  • Gross yield 17.10% — above national baseline
  • Rent $1,255/mo vs. national $1,930 — rent-weak
  • DSCR expectation at 75% LTV / 7.5%: 1.20+ comfortable
  • Appreciation risk to refi: flat — neutral

Start with the gross math. Jackson's typical home value is $88,100; ZORI (Zillow's rent index) sits at $1,255/mo. That's 17.10% gross annual yield. That's well above the national 4-5% baseline — meaningful cushion for a BRRRR to pencil even at today's debt cost.

Run the DSCR sanity check. Assume 75% LTV refi at 7.5% interest, 30-year, plus taxes + insurance + 8% PM + 8% vacancy/capex reserve. On these inputs you should clear DSCR 1.20+ in Jackson with comfortable headroom. Cash-flow at $200-400/door is achievable on a properly underwritten property.

Rent demand color: Jackson rents ($1,255) sit 35% below the national median ($1,930). Local rent is the constraint here — even at favorable acquisition prices, the rent side of the math is the limiting factor.

Refi appraisal risk: Jackson home values are flat YoY — refi appraisals should support your renovated comp on a properly scoped rehab. No softening tailwind to worry about, no appreciation tailwind to lean on.
