How to estimate cash to close, fix & flip profit

Use our Fix & Flip Profit Calculator to estimate cash to close, profit, and cash-on-cash return.

Offer formula for fix & flip investors

Fix and flip investors, commonly referred to as "flippers", offer the lowest amount of any buyers. If you're wondering why this is, it's because flippers are looking to maximize their one-time profit on a given property. In order to justify the substantial risk (money and time) of buying and renovating a property in poor condition, the flipper needs to build in a margin of safety. Unlike rental investors, the flipper cannot recoup their investment over many years of increasing rent and property values. The flipper needs to safely account for a worthwhile near-term profit from buying, fixing and re-selling a property. Re-selling the property incurs transaction costs which include staging, photography, seller concessions (1-2%), closing costs (1-2%), and agent commissions (4% - 6%).

Purchase Price = ARV * [65% OR 70% OR 75%] - Rehab Estimate

Offer formula for wholesalers

Wholesalers need to add their fee in, which reduced the offer price accordingly.

Purchase Price = ARV * [65% OR 70% OR 75%] - Rehab Estimate - Wholesale Fee

Offer formula for rental property investors

Rental investors, on the other hand, are focused on the long term (cash flow and property value appreciation), and are willing to pay more.

Rental investors are typically targeting 10% to 25% below market value on their investment.

Purchase Price = ARV * [select: 65% to 85%] - Rehab Estimate

How To Calculate a Cash Offer

To calculate a cash offer, you need to start with your end-game. What is your goal? Is it to buy a long-term cash-flowing rental property? Or is it to make a quick buck fixing and flipping a distressed property?

At this step, you need to decide what is your target financial return, and on what timeline? Are you looking to make $25,000 net of all expenses with a quick 3 month flip, or are you looking to generate 15% cash on cash annual returns with a long term rental?

Cash vs. Hard Money Lender for Fix & Flip, BRRR
