Is my math right?
I found a home I'm thinking about purchasing to flip.
Purchase Price: $185,000
ARV = $250,000
If I were to finance it with a HML at 3 points and 13% it would cost me..
$5550 in points
$13,560 in holding costs for 6 months - $2260/mo payments
and since realtors charge 6% I would have to pay 6% when I buy, and 6% when I sell...
So that's...
$11000 to buy
$15000 to sell
So to flip this home would cost me a grand total of $45,000 not including labor and rehab costs?!
I hope my math is horribly wrong.
