Estimated Net Profit
Want a second opinion before you commit? I'll walk through the numbers with you and flag anything the calculator can't see: permit timelines, comps, contractor pricing.
This is a planning estimate, not a guarantee. Actual returns depend on financing terms, permit timelines, and what the rehab uncovers once walls are open.
Common Questions
How do you calculate ROI on a house flip?
ROI on a flip is your net profit divided by your total cash invested (purchase price plus rehab). Net profit is the after repair value minus your total investment and closing costs, typically around 8.4% of the resale price for agent fees and closing costs combined.
What is a good ROI percentage for a flip?
Most investors target at least 15 to 20% ROI to account for unexpected costs and the time tied up in the project. Anything below 10% often isn't worth the risk once financing costs are factored in.
What closing costs should I expect when selling a flipped house in Wake County?
Plan for roughly 8.4% of the sale price in total closing costs on a flip: about 4.9% in agent commissions, 1% in seller closing costs, and 2.5% in buyer side closing costs that sellers often cover to make the deal competitive.
Enter the purchase price, your rehab budget, and the estimated after repair value (ARV). The calculator subtracts your total investment and selling costs from the ARV to show net profit, then divides profit by cash invested to get ROI.
Selling costs are fixed at 4.9 percent agent fees, 1 percent seller closing costs, and 2.5 percent buyer side closing costs, about 8.4 percent of the ARV. It does not include loan interest, insurance, utilities, taxes during the hold, or surprises behind the walls, so treat the result as a planning number.
