FAQ

What is ARV in house flipping?

After Repair Value - the estimated market value of the property after all renovations are complete. ARV is typically determined by comparable sales of similar renovated properties.

What's a good ROI for house flips?

20-30% ROI is generally considered good, with 15%+ being acceptable. Higher returns compensate for the risk, effort, and capital requirements of flipping.

What holding costs should I include?

Insurance, property taxes, utilities, loan interest, and opportunity cost of capital. Don't forget permits, inspections, and temporary housing if needed.

How accurate should my ARV estimate be?

Very accurate. A 10% ARV overestimate can turn a profitable flip into a loss. Use recent comparable sales and consider hiring a professional appraiser for expensive projects.

What's the 70% rule in house flipping?

Buy at 70% of ARV minus rehab costs. This rule provides a buffer for unexpected costs and ensures adequate profit margins, though it may be too conservative in hot markets.
