I currently have a base with 8 RM III's, 3 RR I's, and 2 RF I's sitting on an asteroid valued at 216%, 216%, 213% respectively. It is producing 14kt ore, 2.5 kt org, and 3.8kt rad. Maintenance costs are 1540 ore, 81 org, 262 rad. As you can see it is quite profitable.
Recently in a TDM game I set up shop in two asteroid field sectors. I sent a constructor ship with sat layers. Dropped a large miner sat, rad sat, and the occasional farm sat at each spot, topped off with a small sat with stealth armor.

I wasn't really rolling in resources, but I went MEE, and the free resources was kinda nice, kept paying the maintenance bills until I could capture some nice worlds.

I wouldn't want to base my economy on it though
