Frequently asked questions
What is the 70% rule?
A rule of thumb that you shouldn't pay more than 70% of the after-repair value minus rehab costs, leaving room for costs and profit.
What holding costs should I include?
Loan interest, property tax, insurance, utilities, HOA and any lawn care or security while the house is being worked on and sold.
What's a good flip profit?
Many flippers target at least 10–20% of the sale price, or a set minimum dollar profit, to cover risk and surprises.
