Strategy III Β· Fix-n-Flip

Find the floor of your profit
before you sign.

Short-cycle, profit-on-sale. The fix-n-flip analyzer computes after-tax margin and the annualized ROI on the capital you actually deploy β€” then stress-tests the two killers: rehab overruns and schedule slips.

The math behind a flip.

70% RULE

Floor, not ceiling

(ARV Γ— 70%) βˆ’ rehab. Bakes a 30% margin for everything that goes wrong. Adjustable per market.

CARRY

Live during hold

Interest accrues on the average outstanding balance: 50% during draws, 100% post-final. Slip 2 months on a $200k HM loan = ~$3,700.

ANNUALIZED

The metric that matters

(1 + profit/capital)^(12/months) βˆ’ 1. Compares flips of different durations apples-to-apples. Flat profit lies.

AFTER-TAX

Dealer-tax aware

Flips held under 12 months hit ordinary income + self-employment tax β€” not capital gains. The model handles the dealer-tax case.
