Is this Deal Profitable? How to Determine:

Step 1:

  • o Identify the Deal Strategy
    • Fix & Flip,
  • Rental (Buy & Hold)
  • BRRR (Buy,Rehab,Rent,Refinance)

Step 2:

  • o Determine the ARV (AFTER REPAIR VALUE) – Use Comparables, which are recently sold Houses in that area that are similar in Style/Structure.
    • This can be obtained by an Appraiser”.

Step 3:

  • o Determine your Purchase Price (Highest Dollar Amount you will pay for the deal to make sense)
  • o Calculate the Total Cost of Repairs and Closing Cost

  • o Add [Purchase Price and Total Cost] together.

Step 4:

  • o Minus the Amount from
  • o [Step 3 Purchase Price + Total Cost] from
  • o [Step 2 Projected ARV Amount]
  • o = TOTAL PROFIT
