My hope is to be able to use the BRRR methodology and use her cash to buy.My problem that I am most stuck on is how to structure everything, all the way from the beginning.

Kind of hard to compare Apple's and oranges and not sure if that it's possible to prove it through that methodology.

Now I just went and test drove a Tesla today and going to buy one.. now they are not traditional care sales folks but they have their methodology that is well trained and well presented.. the salesmen just did not wake up one day and come to the office and say hey the company is sending me leads what do I do..

The most important thing that I teach our Wholesalers is that You are only as good as your "rolodex" (ancient cardboard (papyrus) device that stored names and phone numbers;-) Now replaced by "contacts" list on iPhones).Here's the goal: When you walk to your car from getting an agreement signed by a Seller you must be able to call at least two Buyers that can take you out of your contract for a fee!

In other areas, other types of houses, different level of finishes, and different contractors, that wouldn't even get me paint and carpet.Spend some time reading other threads about how to estimate -- learning the methodology takes time and practice. 

It isn't easy to get people to say a 1966 Bi-level with ancient plumbing/electric/HVAC is "so beautiful" and "amazing finishes."  

Over my past 25 retail sales, I've averaged nearly $25K in profit, so being conservative is working.I've hit $40K+ profit on two projects ($145K and $165K resales), I've hit $30-40K profit on 6 projects (resales from $95-175K), and have only come in less than $15K on two projects (my very first flip was one of them).So, I really like the methodology of shooting for "singles" but being conservative enough that they often turn into doubles and triples (and maybe an occasional home-run, depending on how you define it).

Well, <sigh> I'll take a risk here and explain my methodology.

We had to take an ancient 27" oven out of one of our rentals, and couldn't find a replacement that size.

In reality it is entirely dependent on the methodology used to calculate the NOI.
