- → Gross yield 7.49% — above national baseline
- → Rent $1,298/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. Oklahoma City's typical home value is $207,961; ZORI (Zillow's rent index) sits at $1,298/mo. That's 7.49% 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 Oklahoma City with comfortable headroom. Cash-flow at $200-400/door is achievable on a properly underwritten property.
Rent demand color: Oklahoma City rents ($1,298) sit 33% 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: Oklahoma City 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.
