Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 70% rule in house flipping?

Maximum offer = (ARV × 70%) − Repair Costs. It builds in a 30% buffer for profit, holding costs, and selling fees. Strict flippers won't break this rule.

What is ARV (After Repair Value)?

The estimated market value of the property after renovations are complete. Determined by recent comparable sales (comps) of similar fully-renovated homes nearby.

What holding costs should I include?

Mortgage/loan interest, property taxes, insurance, utilities, HOA, and lawn care. Typically 1-2% of purchase price per month.

What's a good profit margin on a house flip?

Aim for $25K-$50K net profit minimum, or a 15-20% ROI on total cash invested. Below that and the risk usually isn't worth it.
