How Do You Calculate Fix and Flip Returns
Use the same building blocks on every deal: value after repairs, all-in costs, and cash you put in. The formulas below tie them together so you can estimate profit and ROI consistently.
Core Fix and Flip Formulas
ARV (After Repair Value): Estimated value of the property after renovations
Maximum Allowable Offer (MAO):
MAO = (ARV × target percentage) − Repairs
- People often use the 70% rule: MAO = (ARV × 70%) − Repairs
Total Acquisition Cost: Purchase Price + Closing Costs + Financing Costs at Purchase at Purchase
- Includes down payment, application fees, loan fees, lender points, interest costs, etc.
Rehab Cost:
- Total of labor, materials, permits, dumpsters, landscaping, contingency, and other renovation costs
Total Project Cost: Purchase Cost + Rehab Cost + Holding Costs + Selling Costs
- Holding costs = loan interest, property taxes, insurance, utilities, HOA, lawn care, staging if needed, etc.
Selling Costs: Agent commissions + Seller closing costs + transfer taxes + concessions
Net Profit Formula: Net Profit = Sale Price − Total Project Cost
(Total Project Cost = Purchase Cost + Rehab Cost + Holding Costs + Selling Costs)
ROI Formula: ROI = Net Profit ÷ Total Cash Invested × 100
- Total cash invested usually includes down payment, closing costs, rehab paid out of pocket, and holding costs paid out of pocket.
