PRESTIGE INVESTOR SERIES VOLUME 001
THE INVESTOR’SDEAL
ANALYZER

A practical framework for evaluating a fix-and-flip before you make an offer

ARV − BASIS − COSTS = PROJECTED PROFIT

What’s inside

A fast screen.
A better model.
A clearer decision.

The guide moves from resale assumptions through costs and downside testing, then ends with a compact pre-offer checklist.

  • Support ARV with relevant renovated comparable sales
  • Build a line-item scope and validate contractor pricing
  • Include financing, holding, buying, and selling costs
  • Use the 70% rule as a screen—not a substitute for a model
  • Stress-test price, rehab, timeline, and financing assumptions
  • Confirm the preferred exit and a realistic alternative

The complete project equation

Projected Profit= ARV − Purchase − Renovation − Financing − Holding − Transaction Costs

Projected profit is an estimate, not a guarantee. Model each component using evidence appropriate to the property and transaction.

A useful shortcut—with limits

The 70% rule belongs at the beginning, not the end.

Maximum purchase price(ARV × 70%) − Estimated Repairs

The rule can help screen opportunities quickly. It is not a universal underwriting standard and may be too conservative or too aggressive depending on the market, timeline, financing, sales costs, and required profit. Replace it with a detailed project model before committing.
