Help me model this deal
Subject property is distressed and gutted 2/1 in an up-n-coming historic area with small restored bungalows with high-end, tasteful finishes. Think college professor buyer.
The ask is a reasonable $570K based on MLS comps, demo has been done down to the studs, footprint has been made for addition to 3/2 and 2 car garage.
ARV is a plausible $800k based on MLS comps. Rehab is $100k. Carrying costs $9k per quarter. Financing costs $3k per month. Closing costs $10k.
I'm putting up the money and obtaining the loan. Licensed GC is my brother and is running the rehab at wholesale and splitting the pre-tax profit on the flip 50/50.
How do I make this deal work? If i go with a cheap seller's broker who does bare minimum I could get away with paying 1% when we sell...but it could drag on. Or we pay a good realtor 5% and she closes quickly, but takes 5% of an already extremely tight deal. And what if the rehab is slow and we have to carry for another quarter?
Thoughts?

Price it right and pay for the realtor expert not the discount broker. Get it sold and move on to the next one. Don't fall in love. Good luck!
