Buy & Flip
Forced appreciation through renovation — in and out in under 6 months
Target high-turnover properties in hot submarkets. Buy at a discount, renovate quickly, and sell before carrying costs eat your margin. Speed and accurate ARV estimation are everything.
Strict MAO formula for every deal
Days from purchase to sale
Sale price minus all-in cost ÷ all-in cost
Days from start to certificate of occupancy
Look for outdated but structurally sound properties in appreciating neighborhoods. Avoid foundation issues, knob-and-tube wiring, and cast-iron drain stacks unless you have the margin to absorb them.
The comps page lets you analyze recent sold listings and active inventory side by side. Cross-reference ARV against at least three closed comps before making an offer.
Build a 30-day, 60-day, 90-day milestone calendar. Kitchen and bath are the highest-ROI rooms. Keep finishes neutral and trade-friendly.
List on Thursday, price 5% above ARV, and plan for a 30-day close. If no offers in 2 weeks, drop price weekly until you get traction. Carrying costs compound fast.
