Frequently asked questions
- What costs do flippers commonly underestimate?
- Holding costs (interest on hard money loans at 10–14% annualized, property taxes, insurance, utilities) are frequently underestimated. Budget 1–2% of purchase price per month you hold the property.
- What ROI do successful flippers target?
- Most experienced flippers target a minimum of 15–20% ROI per flip, or an annualized return of 30%+ to justify the risk and effort. Below 10% ROI rarely compensates for the execution risk.
