But we also know that the materials he employed on the Usonian houses are not exactly affordable by today's standards... 

Slowly build out a repeatable process...if you continue to change things (as in different types of properties, different levels of renovation, different finish material, different neighborhoods, etc.) you create more variables and make it harder to solve to the problem.I am a math guy and less unknowns/variables you have the easier the problem will be to solve. 

But if the blue sky materialized then repurchasing that equity could still turn into a win/win.

I've been doing my due diligence on Tardus and really crunching out the numbers and strategies that they are promoting but I keep coming back to square 1.I would really love to hear from NJ based folks on this.....if I invest $10K (money I got from my HELOC) and the monthly payment I owe on that HELOC is $400/month (which includes principal and interest)...

We paid $232,447.36 out to 36+ different trades & vendors for this home.This $232K creates jobs and promotes growth because it is spent and recycled in the economy, creating a ripple effect.Congratulations to the Greatleaf Homes Team for another new construction home closing today!

The culture in our office is very supportive and promotes work/life balance, while still being competitive.

This will usually lead you directly to low barrier stagnant markets where the cash flow represented in your spreadsheet does not transfer to reality and the most of the equity is "paper equity" because you will never see it materialize yet many look at completing the BRRRR as the ultimate success.I recognize I am using some assumptions but let's assume you have $100k to invest and purchase and renovate a home in MARKET A for $400K but once renovated the home is worth $500K.

Issues we faced were conflicting opinions on the next home we should purchase for our portfolio and what upgrades to do when we were doing a flip, the cost of labor and materials, etc.

I stopped at the "right" part.You need to start interviewing PMs in Austin, getting a feel for prices to renovate(hvac, water heater, floors for material + labor, etc.).

The policy consideration behind the higher leveraged loans is to provide financing for individuals who have high earning potential and are at the start of their career where the earning potential has not yet materialized and perhaps are dealing with the added burden of student loans.
