The juice is worth the squeeze in the end.

Rent-by-the-room or medium term rentals can juice your rent numbers.

If your strategy is BRRR  then you just add that cost him just like you would a repair or carrying cost (like utilities) and then figure out if the juice is worth the squeeze.

He says he is not trying to "juice" me and wants to finish this project without any further money spent by me.

When REMAX Greater Atlanta went belly up, I remember one of the agents I knew had $25,000 of commissions he couldn't collect.
