The acquisition process

Find and Analyze a Fix and Flip Opportunity in 6 Steps

Define where you want to invest and search for properties that match your acquisition criteria, available capital, renovation tolerance, and target return.

Investor Tip

  • City
  • ZIP code
  • Property address
  • Property type
  • Purchase price

Step 4

Run Comparable Property Analysis

Validate the property’s potential resale value with relevant comparable sales before calculating your offer and projected margin.

Why Comps Matter

An inflated ARV can make an unprofitable property appear attractive. A conservative, data-supported ARV gives you a more reliable foundation for the entire deal.

Analyze Comparable Properties

Review comps by

  • Location
  • Property type
  • Living area
  • Lot size
  • Bedrooms and bathrooms
  • Year built
  • Condition
  • Renovation level
  • Recent sale date
  • Distance from the subject property
Subject Property$425K ARV
Comp #1$418K Sold
Comp #2$432K Sold

Step 5

Estimate Renovation Costs Before They Destroy the Margin

Organize the renovation scope by category and understand how changes in labor, materials, and contingency affect the complete investment.

Protect Your Margin Before the Work Starts

Build contingency into the estimate and avoid using an incomplete or overly optimistic renovation budget.

Estimate Rehab Costs

Rehab categories

  • Kitchen
  • Bathrooms
  • Roofing
  • Windows
  • Flooring
  • Painting
  • Electrical systems
  • Plumbing
  • HVAC
  • Exterior work
  • Finishes
