Charleston, underwritten.

01 · Identify

A different perspective.On Charleston.

The city. The property. The numbers behind your next move.

02 · Analyze

Step inside.Look closer.

Revenue model, a call to the city, an insurance quote, the five-year exit. If a deal only works when you hope it appreciates, it doesn't work.

03 · Execute

Character, outside.Discipline, underneath.

Identify, analyze, then execute. Numbers first, plain English, honest about the catch.

Who is underwriting your purchase

I ran acquisitions on a$150M vacation rental portfolio.

Today I bring the same underwriting discipline to investors, high-W2 earners and 1031 exchangers buying in Charleston, South Carolina — every purchase evaluated as an investment, not just a transaction.

The method

Most deals die in the first ten minutes.On purpose.

01

The 10× rule

If a property grossed $150,000 last year, I need to see a list price of $1.5 million or less. Ten times gross revenue, or under, is worth diving into. You're not buying a house, you're buying a revenue stream.

"I call it the 10× GRM — 10× gross rent multiplier."
02

The city decides

Zoning, occupancy and permits verified at the source — the city's own records — never from a listing. The MLS is a starting point, not the deal.

"I called the city just as I would do with any client."
03

Insurance before the offer

A broker quote plugged into the model before anything is signed. On the coast, insurance is a structural variable, not a closing detail.

"I'm going to get you an insurance quote and we're going to plug that in."

Then we go deeper: the revenue model, management and utilities, leverage, the five-year exit. If it only works when you hope it appreciates, it doesn't work.

The numbers
