I think I’ve struggled not focusing on the benefit but the cost part of the equation.  

Most BRRR investors in these forums equate return of capital as a success which is is not indicative of actually realizing a gain, especially in low barrier markets.

In the event you end up in landlord tenant court without an active rental license it equates to showing up to a fight with a pocket knife when your  tenant has a bazooka.

So $10,000 would equate to a $14 million property.

I have found a Tony Robinson calculator that does not include the lodging tax as part of the equation.

Say those rooms rent for $800 each, this means you will still have $1600 coming in that month instead of one duplex unit not renting out equating to $0 in rent but a lot of privacy. 

The company supposedly set you up with business credit cards that do not reflect on your personal credit, however they need your personal credit score and history to acquire the initial cards.The company knows of credit card companies that offer 0% introductory rates, and when you combine several cards you can pull cash advances that equate to some amount.

If you look at the numbers long term at EXP (2 years or more) I can show you math equation that hands down other brokerages cannot compete against.

This equation is pretty simple, in theory, how much additional rent can you get by upgrading versus keeping it in its current condition, divided by how much will it cost to upgrade?  

So you figure 25k for a down payment equates to a property worth about 166k that will need maybe 75k in repairs let's say for a total project cost of 241k (loan amount would be 216k approx), then holding and closing costs of about 15k.Now when the project is over and you sell, you'd want to try and sell it for 241k/.70 = 340kish.
