Worked Example

Let's walk through an example to see how the Fix N Flip Calculator works.

Example Scenario

Purchase Price: $100,000
Repair Costs: $30,000
Selling Price: $180,000
Additional Costs: $5,000

Using these numbers, the calculator would produce the following results:

Total Investment: $100,000 + $30,000 + $5,000 = $135,000
Gross Profit: $180,000 - $135,000 = $45,000
Net Profit: $45,000 - $5,000 = $40,000
ROI: ($40,000 / $135,000) × 100 ≈ 29.63%
Cash Flow: $40,000

This example shows a potential ROI of approximately 29.63%, indicating a profitable investment.

Interpreting Your Results

Understanding your Fix N Flip Calculator results is crucial for making informed investment decisions. Here's what each metric means:

Total Investment: The total amount of money you've invested in the property, including purchase price, repairs, and additional costs.
Gross Profit: The profit before considering additional costs. This shows the potential profit if no other expenses were involved.
Net Profit: The actual profit after all expenses, including additional costs. This is the real profit you can expect to keep.
ROI: The return on investment percentage. A higher ROI indicates a more profitable investment.
Cash Flow: The net profit after all expenses. This is the actual cash you can expect to receive from the investment.

By analyzing these metrics, you can determine whether a fix and flip project is financially viable.
