Investment Info:

Single-family residence fix & flip investment.

Purchase price: $375,000
Cash invested: $100,000

6-8 month project. Purchase price $375k with $6k credits. Conservative ARV $650k

Hey Justin,

I work out of Central Oregon and we factor in 2% of purchase price into our client's deals analyses. It does vary lender to lender, what time of year and where you are purchasing (escrowed taxes and insurance specifically here), so I would plan on 3% to be conservative and plan on having a little buffer that's left over.
