Here's my breakdown:$120,000 sales price-$89,900 purchase-$900 closing costs (1% of purchase price)-$15,000 repairs-$7,200 realtor commissions when selling (6% of sales price)-$600 closing costs (.05% of sales price)=$6,400My numbers above do not take into consideration the cost of insurance or utilities (i.e. holding costs), the cost you would pay to your lender, or any overages to your repair budget.
