The only course that teaches you to combine the BRRRR investment strategy with
Section 8 guaranteed government-backed rent — built from over a decade of
boots-on-the-ground experience investing and contracting in St. Louis.
Who Is This Section 8 Real Estate Investing Course For?
Whether you're buying your first door or scaling past ten, BRRRR8 Academy meets you where you are and shows you exactly how to add Section 8 guaranteed rent to your strategy.
Out-of-State Investors
St. Louis offers some of the best cash-flow fundamentals in the country. Learn how to buy, rehab, and self-manage remotely using Section 8 as your tenant stability anchor.
First-Time Landlords
No prior experience required. The BRRRR8 Academy Core track starts at the fundamentals — deal analysis, financing, property selection — and walks you all the way through your first Section 8 placement.
Scaling Investors
Already own rental doors but still chasing market-rate tenants? Learn how to convert your portfolio to guaranteed government rent, systematize your deal flow, and use creative finance to accelerate growth.
Contractors & Builders
You already control rehab costs that other investors can't touch. The Project Management track shows you how to convert your trade skills into equity and build a portfolio alongside your contracting business.
The Strategy
How the BRRRR Strategy Works With Section 8 Housing
Each letter in BRRRR8 Academy represents a stage in the cycle. Master all five and you can scale a portfolio indefinitely without leaving equity locked in a single property.
B
Buy
Find the Deal
Target distressed properties priced below market value with strong Section 8 rent potential. Our deal analyzer tells you in minutes whether a property pencils out.
R
Rehab
Renovate Right
Scope, bid, and manage the rehab to HUD inspection standards. We show you exactly which finishes pass inspection and which improvements add the most appraised value.
R
Rent
Section 8 Tenant
Work with your local PHA to get listed, pass the HCV inspection, and place a vetted Section 8 tenant. The government pays a guaranteed portion every single month.
R
Refinance
Pull Your Capital
Use the stabilized rental income and updated appraisal to do a cash-out refinance. Get your original investment back — or close to it — and keep the property.
R8
Repeat
Build the Portfolio
Reinvest recovered capital into your next deal. Each cycle adds a cash-flowing Section 8 door to your portfolio with little-to-no capital permanently tied up.
The Strategy in Practice
What a BRRRR8 Deal Looks Like
Every deal starts distressed and ends cash-flowing — rehabbed to HUD standards, approved by the PHA, and generating guaranteed government-backed rent every month.

Real Estate in St. Louis — Built from the Ground Up
Chaun has been involved in real estate in St. Louis since 2014 — first as a contractor, then as an investor, then both simultaneously.
He built his own portfolio using the exact BRRRR cycle he teaches — relying on Section 8 guaranteed rent as the income foundation for cash-out refinance. He also owns Missouri Construction Service, so he understands what a rehab actually costs from both sides of the contract.
Every number in this course — every deal, every inspection item, every lender conversation — comes from something he's done in the real world.

Student Results
Real Investors, Real Doors
BRRRR8 Academy students come from all experience levels. Here's what a few of them have to say after putting the method to work.
★★★★★
"I was skeptical about investing remotely, but the Section 8 module changed everything. Within eight months of finishing the course I closed my first deal in St. Louis and had a tenant placed within two weeks of passing HCV inspection."
★★★★★
"I've taken three other real estate courses. None of them told me what to actually say to a housing authority or how to prepare for an HCV inspection. BRRRR8 Academy does. That detail alone was worth the enrollment."
★★★★★
"As a contractor I thought I knew everything about rehab. What I didn't know was how to turn my trade margin into a portfolio. The Project Management track and the deal analyzer paid for the course on deal one."
★★★★★
"BRRRR always felt like it was for people with deep pockets. The Creative Finance track showed me subject-to and seller finance options I didn't know existed. Three deals later, averaging $1,240 a month in guaranteed rent."

Enrollment
Choose Your Track
One-time enrollment. Lifetime access. No subscriptions, no upsells after you're in.
No. The BRRRR8 Academy Core track starts at the very beginning — how to read a deal, how to get financing as a first-time investor, and how Section 8 works as a federal program available in every state. Experienced investors often tell us the Section 8 Deep Dive track alone was worth the enrollment.
No. Section 8 (the Housing Choice Voucher program) is a federal HUD program administered by local Public Housing Authorities in every state. The BRRRR strategy works in any market with distressed inventory and a functional HCV program. The course teaches the underlying principles; we use St. Louis as a live case study throughout.
Most courses teach BRRRR or Section 8 in isolation. BRRRR8 Academy is built on the insight that they work best together: Section 8 provides the guaranteed income that lenders want to see for refinancing, and the BRRRR cycle provides the mechanism for building a large portfolio without permanently tying up capital. Beyond the strategy, the course is taught by someone who has been doing this in the real world for over 25 years — not a content creator.
You submit an address and a few deal parameters; we return a full financial breakdown covering: after-repair value (ARV), local Section 8 payment standard and fair market rent, estimated rehab scope, projected cash-on-cash return, cash-flow model, and refinance projection showing estimated equity pull-out at 70–75% LTV. Starter and All Access include one analysis; VIP includes unlimited analyses throughout your membership.
All Access ($1,997) gives you all four learning tracks, one personal deal analysis, all templates and compliance guides, the private community, and bi-monthly Q&A calls. VIP Coaching ($2,497) adds four private 1:1 coaching sessions directly with Chaun, unlimited deal analyses, priority email and direct message access, and a full review of any contractor bids before you sign. VIP is for investors who want direct, ongoing guidance on active deals.
