In today’s market, speed, execution, and accurate underwriting make all the difference. This recent project in Beaufort is a perfect example of what can happen when all three come together.
The Deal Snapshot
- Purchase Price: $155,000
- Rehab Budget: $75,000
- Total Investment: $230,000
- Appraiser’s ARV: $300,000
- Final Sale Price: $309,000
The Timeline
This project wasn’t just profitable—it was efficient.
- Loan Closed: Early December
- Renovation Completed & Listed: Mid-February
- Under Contract: March
- Sold: Mid-April
From acquisition to exit, the entire project wrapped in just over four months.
Execution That Drove Results
The borrower came in with a clear plan and stuck to it:
- Renovations were completed quickly without sacrificing quality
- The scope aligned well with the neighborhood and target buyer
- Pricing strategy was aggressive but realistic
The result? Not only did the property outperform the appraiser’s opinion of value, but it also moved quickly once it hit the market.
Beating the Numbers
The appraised ARV came in at $300K—but the market had the final say.
Selling at $309K, this deal exceeded expectations and reinforced an important truth:
well-executed renovations + smart positioning can outperform even solid underwriting.
Why This Deal Stands Out
There are a lot of fix-and-flips happening right now, but not all are created equal. This one worked because:
- The purchase price left room for profit
- The rehab added real, visible value
- The timeline minimized holding costs
- The exit strategy aligned with buyer demand in the area
Final Takeaway
This deal is a great reminder that successful investing isn’t just about finding a property—it’s about executing the plan.
When the right deal meets the right team and the right financing, results like this aren’t luck—they’re repeatable.
