What is a Property Flip?

A property flip, often called "house flipping," is a real estate investment strategy where an investor purchases a property with the intention of selling it for a profit in a relatively short period. This typically involves buying a distressed or undervalued property, renovating or improving it (the "rehab"), and then selling it at a higher market price (the After Repair Value or ARV).

Successful flipping requires accurate estimation of purchase costs, repair expenses, holding costs, selling costs, and the final ARV to ensure a profitable outcome.

Deal Trap Visualization

The Hidden Dangers of "Good on Paper" Deals

A basic flip calculator might show a tempting profit. A $50,000 projected profit in 4 months? Sounds great! But what if that calculation is missing critical context?

  • What if no cash buyers in that specific market are willing to invest $300,000 for that type of flip, regardless of potential ROI?
  • What if the property type (e.g., a large multifamily you plan to flip) has historically low demand from flippers in that zip code?
  • What if your repair estimates are wildly off from local contractor rates or the actual scope needed?
  • What if your ARV is based on outdated or irrelevant comps?

A deal that looks profitable in a spreadsheet can quickly become a financial trap if it ignores real-world market dynamics, buyer behavior, and accurate costings. This is where a simple calculator falls short.
