Fix & Flip Strategy

Know If a Flip Will Profit — Before You Buy It

A flip that looks like a $40K profit on paper can turn into a $10K loss with one bad rehab estimate. DealProfit analyzes every potential flip with comp-based ARV, rehab cost modeling, and holding cost projections — then tells you the probability of hitting your profit target, not just a best-case number.

Sound familiar?

These are the problems investors face every day.

ARV estimates are guesses without strong comps

Your entire flip profit depends on what the property sells for after renovation. But most investors estimate ARV from Zillow's Zestimate or a quick look at recent sales — without adjusting for condition, upgrades, or market trends. A 5% ARV miss on a $300K property is $15K off your profit.

Rehab costs always come in higher than expected

You budget $35K for the renovation. The contractor finds knob-and-tube wiring, the roof needs replacing, and permits take 3 weeks longer than planned. Rehab surprises almost always cost more, not less — and most spreadsheets model a single number with zero margin for error.

Holding costs eat your profit every month you're wrong

Every month the flip takes longer than planned — mortgage payments, insurance, taxes, utilities, lawn care. A flip that takes 6 months instead of 4 can lose $3,000-$5,000 in holding costs alone. Most calculators ignore this entirely.

You can't tell which flips are worth your time

You find 20 potential flips. Running full analysis on each one — comps, rehab estimate, holding costs, selling costs, profit projection — takes hours per property. Most won't work. But you don't know which ones until you've done all the math.

The Solution

How DealProfit makes it effortless

Comp-based ARV — not a Zestimate guess

DealProfit pulls comparable sales and adjusts for property characteristics to estimate after-repair value. You see the comps, the adjustments, and the confidence level — not just a single number from an algorithm.

Rehab cost modeling with confidence ranges

Rehab estimates include a confidence range — because a cosmetic refresh has a tight cost estimate while a full gut renovation has much wider uncertainty. Monte Carlo simulations reflect this: tighter confidence means narrower profit ranges.

Full holding cost projections

Mortgage payments, insurance, property taxes, utilities, and HOA — calculated per month for your projected hold period. See exactly how each additional month of holding time affects your bottom line.

ProfitScore tuned for flips

Fix & Flip ProfitScore weights ARV confidence and rehab confidence heavily — because those are the two inputs that make or break a flip. A deal with strong comps and a clear renovation scope scores higher than one with thin data and an uncertain rehab.

Compare flip vs. rent on the same property

Should you flip it or hold it as a rental? Every property is analyzed across all strategies simultaneously. See the flip profit next to the LTR cash flow next to the BRRRR refinance scenario — same property, one click.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does DealProfit estimate ARV for flips?
DealProfit pulls comparable sales — recently sold properties with similar characteristics in the same area — and adjusts for differences in size, bedrooms, bathrooms, condition, and proximity. The ARV estimate includes a confidence score based on comp quality: how many comps, how recent, and how similar. This confidence directly affects the ProfitScore and Monte Carlo ranges.
How accurate are the rehab cost estimates?
Rehab estimates include a confidence range that reflects how certain the scope is. A cosmetic refresh (paint, flooring, fixtures) has tight cost estimates. A full renovation with structural work has much wider uncertainty. Monte Carlo simulations model this range — so instead of 'rehab costs $40K,' you see '$30K-$55K with 70% probability of staying under $45K.'
Does DealProfit account for holding costs?
Yes. Holding costs are calculated monthly based on your financing terms: mortgage payments, insurance, property taxes, utilities, and any HOA fees. You set your projected hold period and DealProfit shows total holding costs — plus how each additional month impacts your net profit.
Can I compare flipping vs. renting the same property?
Yes. Every property is analyzed across all available strategies simultaneously. Open any deal and switch between Fix & Flip, LTR, Section 8, BRRRR, and STR with one click. You see the flip profit next to the rental cash flow — same data, different strategies. How the Deal Analyzer works.
Is Fix & Flip analysis available now?
Fix & Flip analysis is coming in an upcoming release. DealProfit currently supports Long-Term Rental and Section 8. When Fix & Flip launches, every property with flip potential will be automatically analyzed with ARV, rehab estimates, and profit projections. Join the waitlist for early access.
What is ProfitScore for flips?
ProfitScore for Fix & Flip weights ARV confidence (40%) and rehab confidence (35%) heavily — because those are the two inputs that determine whether a flip profits or loses money. A flip with 6 strong renovated comps and a clear cosmetic scope will score much higher than one with 1 old comp and an unknown rehab. How ProfitScore works.
Can I try DealProfit for free?
Yes. The Free tier includes unlimited manual deal analysis with multi-strategy comparison and ProfitScore — forever, no credit card required. Pro plans add automated sourcing and alerts starting at $49/month with a 7-day free trial. See plans.
