Frequently Asked Questions
The Complete Guide to Fix and Flip Analysis
House flipping can be highly profitable, but success depends on accurate deal analysis before you buy. Our fix and flip calculator helps you evaluate every aspect of a potential flip to ensure profitability and avoid costly mistakes.
Key Metrics Every House Flipper Must Know
The 70% rule is the foundation of flip analysis, but it's just the starting point. Successful flippers also track their cash-on-cash return, annualized ROI, and profit margin. Understanding these metrics helps you compare deals and allocate your capital efficiently across multiple projects.
Common Mistakes That Kill Flip Profits
The most common mistakes in house flipping are underestimating rehab costs, overestimating ARV, and ignoring holding costs. Our calculator includes a contingency buffer and calculates all holding costs to give you a realistic profit projection. Remember that time is money in flipping - every extra month you hold a property eats into your returns.
Using Hard Money vs. Conventional Financing
While hard money loans have higher interest rates, they offer faster closing and more flexible qualification. This calculator defaults to typical hard money terms but can be adjusted for any financing structure. Compare your options carefully, as financing costs can significantly impact your bottom line.
