What is Deal Analysis?

Deal analysis is the process by which you determine how much you can pay for a house in order to cover all the expenses of fixing it up and selling it. You want to make sure you can still make a profit after all that’s done – after all, that’s the point of flipping houses.

If it does sell, but it takes months, you may not be making a big profit… but at least you won’t lose it all. The ultimate goal is to buy something, fix it, and sell it quickly (and at a price that nets you a healthy profit.
