From First Offer to Final Sale — and Smarter on Every Flip After

Real screens from the house flipping calculator and the Flip Profit Tracker. Underwrite a deal in minutes, track every dollar through the sale, and turn each finished flip into the numbers that price your next one.

Answer "does this deal work?" in about a minute: address, size, rehab budget and your return target are all it asks for — ARV and comparables are fetched for you rather than guessed at.

New Analysis

Know If a Deal Works Before You Finish Your Coffee

Most flippers lose good deals to slow math. By the time the spreadsheet is filled in, someone else has the contract. Answer the only question that matters — does this pencil? — in the time it takes to read the listing.

  • Type an address — after-repair value and comparables are pulled for you, not guessed at
  • Rehab, holding time and financing in one short form; no spreadsheet to maintain
  • Change any assumption and every number re-solves instantly
  • The whole underwrite is saved, so you can defend the number to a partner weeks later
The verdict in one screen: net profit, ROI and annualized ROI on the deal as entered, with every cost that produced them itemised underneath — enough to say yes or walk away without opening a spreadsheet.

Deal Analysis

One Screen That Says Buy, Negotiate, or Walk

A flip fails in the assumptions, not the paint colors. Seeing profit, ROI and the full cost stack together is what stops you talking yourself into a deal that only works if nothing goes wrong.

  • Net profit, ROI and annualized ROI on the deal exactly as you entered it
  • Every cost itemized underneath — purchase, rehab, holding, financing, selling
  • Deal quality graded so a marginal deal announces itself instead of hiding in the math
  • Override any figure with your own contractor quote and watch the verdict move
The highest price you can pay and still hit your target return — worked backwards from ARV, rehab and holding costs, so you walk into the negotiation with a number you can defend and a ceiling you will not drift past.

Maximum Offer

Walk Into the Negotiation With a Ceiling You Won't Drift Past

Deals are lost by overpaying just as often as by bidding too low. A number worked backwards from your own return target turns a negotiation into arithmetic you have already done.

  • The highest price that still hits your target return, solved backwards from ARV and costs
  • Set the target as ROI or annualized ROI — the offer re-solves around what you actually require
  • Know your walk-away number before the seller names theirs
  • Defensible on the spot: every input behind the ceiling is on the same screen
The comparables the after-repair value rests on, each with price, size, distance and correlation — exclude any that are not truly comparable and the ARV, the profit and the maximum offer all re-solve.

Market Comparables

Defend Your ARV When Someone Challenges It

An ARV you can't explain is an ARV nobody will fund. When the comps are on the table and the bad ones can be removed in a click, the conversation moves from argument to agreement.

  • Every comparable behind the after-repair value, with price, size, distance and correlation
  • Exclude the ones that aren't truly comparable — the ARV, profit and max offer all re-solve
  • Show a partner or lender exactly which sales your number rests on
  • No black-box estimate you have to take on faith
What other investors are actually paying nearby: homes bought and resold within 12 months, the discount they bought at, and what that implies for your own offer — a reality check on whether your price is competitive.

Investor Price Intel

See What Your Competition Is Actually Paying

Your offer competes with other investors, not with the asking price. Knowing what they paid last quarter on the same streets is the difference between a contract and a polite no.

  • Nearby homes bought and resold within 12 months — real investor buys, mapped
  • The discount they bought at, and what that implies for your own offer
  • Know whether your price is competitive before you submit it
  • Spot the streets where flips are actually selling, not just listing
Track Every Flip You Own

Know Where Every Flip Stands Without Chasing Anyone

The analysis becomes the deal. Log costs as they happen, watch the budget in real time, and see the profit you are actually going to make — not the one you hoped for in month one.

The moment an analysis becomes a real deal: one click promotes it into a tracked flip, carrying the underwriting across as the estimate you will be measured against — the analysis itself stays untouched.

Analysis → Deal

The Moment You Buy It, Nothing Gets Retyped

The gap between analyzing deals and running them is where most tools stop and most spreadsheets die. Here the numbers you underwrote follow the house you bought — and become the yardstick you are graded against.

  • One click turns the analysis into a tracked deal
  • Your underwriting is frozen as the estimate you'll be measured against
  • The rehab budget becomes the plan the expense log checks against
  • The original analysis stays untouched, so the forecast is never rewritten by hindsight
Adding a flip by hand, with no analysis behind it: the property address, the stage the deal is at today, the purchase price and date, and what it is expected to resell for — the way a flip already underway, or one finished last year, gets into the history the benchmarks are built from.

Add It By Hand

Every Flip Counts — Including the Ones You Already Sold

Almost nobody arrives with an empty pipeline. There is a rehab underway — and there are the ones you finished last year that never touched this software. Put in both. Smart Rental Investor counts a hand-entered flip in your history, your performance and your benchmarks exactly like an analyzed one, so your track record starts with the work you have already done instead of waiting on your next three purchases.

  • Add the flip you are mid-rehab on without inventing an analysis to justify it
  • Go back and enter the ones you already sold — finished deals are what your history, performance and benchmarks are built from
  • Give it the square footage and that flip counts toward your cost per square foot like any other
  • Three sold flips and your own numbers start setting the targets for the next one
  • Itemize each rehab and every past flip adds cost-per-category benchmarks, not just this deal
Every flip you own on one board with its stage — purchased, rehabbing, listed, sold — so you always know what each deal is doing without chasing a spreadsheet or your inbox.

My Flips

Every Project on One Board, With Its Real Status

Running three flips from memory works right up until it doesn't. One board with a real stage on every deal is the difference between managing projects and reacting to them.

  • Purchased, in rehab, listed, sold — the whole portfolio at a glance
  • Search, filter and sort by stage or financing when you are running several at once
  • Open any deal to its full ledger in one click
  • No more asking your project manager which house is where
Every dollar on the deal in one ledger, categorised as you go — the running total is always current, so "what have we spent so far" never needs a phone call.

Expense Log

Every Dollar on the House, in One Ledger

Receipts in a truck console and a text thread with your contractor is how flips quietly go over budget. A ledger you actually keep is the cheapest insurance in this business.

  • Log a cost in seconds — date, category, amount
  • Categorized as you go, so the totals are always current
  • Export the deal's ledger to CSV for your accountant at tax time
  • "What have we spent so far?" stops being a phone call
Rehab spent against the budget you underwrote, as a meter that fills while the work is happening — so an overrun is a decision you make in week three, not a surprise at closing.

Budget vs. Actual

Catch an Overrun in Week Three, Not at Closing

An overrun found at the closing table is a loss. The same overrun found in week three is a decision — change the scope, change the price, or accept it with your eyes open.

  • Rehab spent against the budget you underwrote, on the deal header
  • Watch the gap open while you can still do something about it
  • Every expense you log moves it immediately
  • The budget came from your analysis — you never re-enter it
What you assumed against what it cost, line by line — the feedback loop that makes the next underwriting sharper, and the only honest way to know whether your rehab estimates run over.

Estimate vs. Actual

Find Out Which of Your Assumptions Are Lying to You

Every flipper thinks their estimates are close. Almost nobody measures. This is the screen that tells you whether your rehab numbers run 5% over or 30% over — and that single fact changes every offer you make from here.

  • What you assumed against what it cost, line by line
  • See the pattern: rehab always over, hold time always long, ARV always optimistic
  • The feedback loop that makes your next underwrite sharper
  • Nobody else will tell you this — your spreadsheet certainly won't
Your Numbers, Not Industry Averages

Every Flip You Finish Makes the Next One Sharper

After three sold flips the app stops quoting rules of thumb and starts quoting you — what your kitchens really cost per square foot, what your closings really run, how long your rehabs really take.

The number every flipper wants and almost none can produce: what YOUR rehabs cost per square foot — broken out by kitchens, bathrooms, roofing, flooring and paint, each with its range and how many of your deals it is drawn from. Price a contractor quote against what you have actually paid for that exact work.

Cost Benchmarks

Know What a Kitchen Costs You — Not What a Blog Says

Ask ten flippers what a bathroom costs and you get ten numbers, none of them yours. This is the one number that ends the argument with a contractor, and it is built from work you have already paid for.

  • Rehab cost per square foot from your own logged expenses, with the range around it
  • Broken out by work type: kitchens, bathrooms, roofing, flooring, paint
  • Price a contractor's quote against what you have actually paid for that exact work
  • Honest about small samples — anything under three deals is flagged, never dressed up as typical
What buying and selling actually costs you — closing on both sides and commission, each as a percentage of the price it is charged against — so your next analysis assumes your real costs instead of round numbers.

Transaction Costs

Find the Money Leaking Out on Both Closings

Transaction costs are the quietest line on a flip: nobody negotiates them, everybody guesses them, and two points of drift on both ends is most of a month's profit.

  • What buying actually costs you, as a percentage of purchase price
  • What selling actually costs — closing and commission, tracked separately
  • Compare against what your next analysis is assuming, side by side
  • Stop underwriting with round numbers you inherited from someone else
How long your flips really take — purchase to listing, listing to sale, and planned against actual — because every extra week is holding cost, and your own median is the only honest input for the next hold estimate.

Timeline Benchmarks

Budget the Hold Time You Actually Have, Not the One You Hope For

Optimistic timelines are the most expensive habit in flipping, because every extra week is taxes, insurance, utilities and interest. Your own median is the only honest input.

  • Median days from purchase to listing, and listing to sale — from your own dates
  • The range, so you can plan for the slow one instead of the lucky one
  • Every extra week is holding cost; this is what it really runs
  • Feeds the hold estimate on your next analysis automatically
The rehab field tells you what YOUR last flips actually cost per square foot and what that means for this property — so the budget you type is anchored to your own spending, not a rule of thumb you read somewhere.

History in the Calculator

Every Flip You’ve Sold, Answering for the Next One

This is the part no spreadsheet gives you. The moment you type a square footage, the app tells you what a house that size has cost you before — so the budget you enter is anchored to your own spending, not to hope.

  • The rehab field tells you what your flips have actually cost per square foot — every deal you have sold, not a recent handful
  • The same happens under closing costs and commission, against what this analysis assumes
  • Every hint explains the math and names the deals behind it
  • You stop underwriting from memory and start underwriting from evidence
Under the rehab timeline field: how many months your last flips actually took from purchase to listing, with the median in days, beside the months this analysis allows — the rehab window to plan for, from your own dates.

History in the Calculator

Hold Times You Have Actually Achieved, Beside the Ones You Are Typing

Every extra week is taxes, insurance, utilities and interest. Typing three months when your own five flips averaged nearly four is a hole in the profit before any work starts — and this is the moment you find out.

  • The rehab field names your median purchase-to-listing time in months and days, next to the number in the box
  • The sale period field does the same for listing to sale
  • An optimistic timeline is visible as optimistic before you commit to it, not after the interest accrues
  • Both feed the holding costs on the deal, so the profit figure moves with reality
Your own buy-side commission as a percentage of purchase price, counting only the deals that paid a buyer's agent, shown under the Realtor Commission (Buy) field beside what this analysis assumes.

History in the Calculator

Every Transaction Cost, Priced by Your Own Closings

Nobody remembers what they paid to close three deals ago. These four lines do, and they appear while you are deciding — not in a post-mortem after the settlement statement proves the assumption wrong.

  • Buy-side and sell-side commission and closing costs, each as a percentage of the price it is charged against
  • Counted only from the deals that actually paid them, and the count is shown
  • Sitting beside what this analysis assumes, so a stale default is caught here
  • The four fields where flip profit leaks quietly, all answered by your own record

Honest From Day One

You'll Never Be Sold One Deal Dressed Up as a Trend

Most tools would happily average two deals and call it your cost per square foot. This one refuses, and tells you why. That is the same discipline behind every number you will rely on later — when you make an offer on the strength of it, you can trust where it came from.

Your first flips still count: with fewer than three sold in range the benchmarks stay locked and tell you exactly how many more unlock them, so you are never handed one deal dressed up as a trend — and you know precisely what you are working toward.
  • Under three sold flips the benchmarks stay locked — and say exactly how many more unlock them
  • No fake medians, no industry averages standing in for your own numbers
  • You always know what you are working toward, and what it will be worth when you get there
  • Log the flips you have already done and the whole picture unlocks immediately
The answer to "am I actually good at this?" — profit margin, ROI, profit per day held and per square foot, and your win rate across every finished deal, in the exact numbers a lender or partner asks for before they fund you.

Return Benchmarks

Answer “Am I Actually Good at This?” With Numbers

Flippers remember their best deal and forget the one that ate a summer. Your real average margin, your real hold time and your real win rate are what tell you whether to buy more houses, change your buy box, or raise your price — and they are the first thing anyone lending you money wants to see.

  • Profit margin and ROI across every deal you have finished, with the spread
  • Profit per day held — the number that exposes a slow flip masquerading as a profitable one
  • Win rate, counted honestly, losses included
  • The exact figures a lender or partner asks for before they fund you

Flippers lose deals in the gap between the math and the message. Smart Rental Investor closes it: the moment the analysis pencils, the offer is written from it, under the terms you saved for your rehab deals, signed with your details. Read it, adjust it, send it.

  • The message quotes the maximum offer your rule allows, the after-repair value from comparable sales and the rehab budget
  • Cash terms as sellers expect them: earnest money, a short inspection, as-is, a fast close, proof of funds ready
  • Send it to the listing agent or the seller, copied to a text or opened as an email draft
  • Offer below the maximum and the message rewrites itself around the new price

Nothing Assumed

Your Terms Are Asked, Never Guessed

A wrong term sent by mistake costs a deal; a minute filling in a form does not. So the first offer of each kind asks what you actually offer, and nothing you did not type ever reaches a seller or an agent.

  • Every field starts blank; the typical value sits beside it as a hint, not a default that slips out unread
  • Fill in what you offer and leave out what you do not - a blank field never becomes a sentence
  • The form changes with the deal: a wholesaler is asked about assignability, a rental buyer about financing contingencies
  • Tick one box and these become your defaults for every offer of that type

Set Your Terms Once, Then Every Offer Writes Itself

Most investors retype the same earnest money, inspection period and closing terms into every offer, and forget one when it matters. Smart Rental Investor asks for your terms once, on your first offer of each type, and writes every offer after that from them, so what changes deal to deal is the price and the address, not the paperwork. See how the Offer Writer works.

  • Save your terms per deal type: rental, fix & flip and BRRRR, wholesale seller and end buyer
  • The next offer of that type is written the moment the dialog opens, ready to copy or send
  • Change a term for one property without touching your defaults, or update the defaults when your strategy changes
  • Nothing is assumed: a term you leave blank never appears in the message
  • Every offer you write is filed under My Offers with the terms it went out under
Send your track record to a lender or partner as a link, frozen at the moment you shared it — proof of what you have done, without handing over your login or exporting anything.

Share Your Record

Send the Deal, Not a Screenshot

Every deal has more than one decision-maker, and raising money usually means assembling a history nobody can verify the night before someone asks for it. Every flip you have logged is already the proof — one link hands it over, fixed at the moment you sent it so the numbers cannot drift while it sits in an inbox.

  • One click turns your track record into a link — no export, no attachments, no “can you resend that PDF?”
  • Zero friction for them: it opens on a phone at the job site or a laptop at the bank, with no account
  • Frozen the moment you send it, so the figures your lender reads are the figures you shared
  • Stay in control — revoke a link and it stops working immediately, or restore it later
  • Know it landed: view counts and last-viewed dates tell you whether they actually opened it
What the lender actually opens: your deals, returns and benchmarks as a clean report, with street addresses masked — the credibility of a track record without exposing where you work.

What They Open

Credibility Without Publishing Where You Work

A track record is only persuasive if someone can actually read it — and only safe if it does not hand over the streets you buy on. This is the same report you froze, from their side: complete on the numbers, quiet on the addresses.

  • No login and no account — your lender or partner just opens it
  • Street addresses masked, so your deal flow stays yours
  • Every deal, cost and return laid out the way a lender reads them
  • Looks like a document you had made, because it is

Why a Fix and Flip Calculator Matters Before You Make an Offer

Flipping houses is a margin business, and the margin is decided on the day you buy — not the day you sell. Pay $15,000 too much, underestimate the rehab by $20,000, or hold the property three months longer than planned, and a deal that penciled at $50,000 of profit is suddenly break-even. A fix and flip calculator exists to catch those mistakes while they are still hypothetical: it turns an After Repair Value, a rehab budget and a timeline into a maximum offer you can defend, and a projected profit and ROI you can compare against other deals.

The difference between a spreadsheet and a proper house flipping calculator is the data behind the inputs. The ARV is estimated from real market comparables you can inspect and exclude, not typed in from a hunch. Holding costs are computed month by month from the actual taxes, insurance and financing on the property, so a slow permit or a long listing period shows up in the numbers before it shows up in your bank account. And once you buy, the same tool tracks the flip through to the sale — every logged expense against the budget, the frozen estimate against the actual result — so the next offer is sharper than the last.

How Does the 70% Rule Work?

The 70% rule says your maximum allowable offer (MAO) is 70% of the After Repair Value minus repair costs: a $300,000 ARV with $40,000 of rehab caps the offer at $170,000. The 30% you leave behind covers closing costs on both ends, holding costs, financing, commissions and your profit. The calculator lets you set the percentage from 60% to 80% — tighter in risky markets, looser on high-value homes — or skip the rule and solve for a target ROI or annualized ROI instead.

Why Is ARV the Number That Matters Most?

Every other figure — max offer, profit, ROI — is derived from the After Repair Value, so a 5% error in ARV can wipe out most of your margin. A reliable ARV comes from recently sold, renovated homes of similar size and layout in the same neighborhood. The calculator estimates it from market comparables automatically, shows you each comp, and lets you exclude distressed sales or homes across a major road that would drag the value the wrong way.

What Do Holding Costs Really Cost You?

Time is the flipper's hidden expense. Property taxes, insurance, utilities and hard-money interest accrue every month the house is not sold, and selling costs come off the top at the end. A month-by-month holding period sensitivity table shows profit, ROI and annualized return at every timeline from one to twelve months — so you know what a two-month delay costs before you agree to the purchase price.

Why Track Actuals After You Buy?

Underwriting is a forecast; the expense log is the truth. Logging every rehab, holding and financing cost against the original budget shows overruns while there is still time to cut scope, and a final estimate-vs-actual scorecard on a sold flip tells you exactly where your assumptions were wrong — the rehab, the timeline, the sale price. Investors who review that scorecard on every deal stop repeating the same expensive mistake.
