Limited margin for error or overruns.For San Jose and the Bay Area, based on Flipsquad data:Flippers routinely stretch up to 80-85% ARV when:Holding time is short (less than 3 months).Rehab is light-to-medium ($40–$70/sf).The end buyer pool is strong (desirable schools, walkability, etc.).Savvier investors still aim for 75% ARV or lower, but it's rare without off-market access or distressed conditions.At 85% ARV, you're likely in “retail-light flip” territory — minor improvements, high sell-through confidence, and fast turnarounds.What to Watch:Rehab Budget Accuracy: In tight ARV margin deals, every $10K in under-forecasted rehab can wipe out profits.Comps Movement: In San Jose, small swings in comp prices can shift ARV ±5%, which is your entire profit in many deals.Speed > Margin: Many Bay Area flippers optimize for return on time, not maximum margin — flipping 3-4 properties at 80% ARV quickly might outperform 1 at 70%.Good luck with your flips and feel free to reach out if I can be of any assistance.
