Low Impact

Smaller improvements — typically $10–$50/mo. Still worth doing; they compound.

$$

Moderate Impact

Meaningful improvements — typically $50–$150/mo. Often the sweet spot of effort vs. return.

$$$

High Impact

Largest improvements — typically $100–$300+/mo. Often involve financing, strategy shifts, or Deal Alchemy™.
