A fix and flip deal lives or dies on three numbers: purchase price, rehab cost, and after-repair value.<\/strong> Get any one of them wrong by 10%, and the profit you projected on paper turns into a loss at the closing table.<\/p>\n

Flipping is not buy-and-hold. There is no rent to cushion a bad estimate. Every month you hold the property, hard money interest and holding costs chip away at your margin. The math has to work before you buy, not after.<\/p>\n

This guide covers the fix and flip formula, how to estimate profit and ROI, what the 70% rule actually screens for, and the mistakes that turn promising flips into expensive lessons.<\/p>\n

Every calculation ties directly to the Fix & Flip Calculator<\/a>, so you can plug in your own deal as you read.<\/p>\n
