Help on estimating numbers
Hello everyone,
I need some help. I am analyzing my first single family fix and flip property and I am trying to total all expenses for the project in order to present it to my gap funder, but when I run the numbers they do not seem right. I know I am doing some thing wrong but I don't know what. Can you take a look at my math and help me out... Thank You
A few Questions off the bat-
1.Is property taxes paid in a lump sum when property is purchased or is is broken up over 12 months?
2. I read somewhere online to estimate around 6% for closing costs- should that be budgeted for purchase and sale or only purchase?
3. With closing costs- are escro, titling fees lawyer fees and all that included? or should i budget an additional 10% estimate aside for those fees or additional fees?
I used a analysis i found on BP, modified a little to fit my needs, and the house flipping calculator. They are attached. Thank You.

thank you for the reply and detailed analysis. It definitely gives me a lot to think about. Its amazing that a house with a difference of over 100k between purchase price and estimated ARV can possibly net a loss for the investor.
