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.

And most times, if you have that grind mentality, they will feel somewhat threatened by you ultimately becoming their competition (unless of course they are retiring or getting out of the business).I hope this somewhat helps.Georges Franco
