I am ready to pull the trigger on my first deal - nice 3br-1b Cape. Rehab is about 14 days labor estimates my contractor and I'm allowing a month to knock it out pending the usual unforeseen circumstances. Here are my forecast economics - what do you think?

Cost -80000
Closing/Title -3000
Reno -40181
Insurance -600
Alarm -60
Loan costs -3333
Commission
-9600
Sales price 160000
Potential Profit 23225

@Don McIlmurray

Good to hear.  Can you spend another 5k and add a 1/2 or full bath?  4/1.5 or 4/2s seem to climb towards 200k depending on location.
