Calculadora de Ganancia de Flipping — Fórmula
## House Flip Profit Analysis
Flipping a property involves buying below market value, renovating, and selling for a profit. Accurate cost accounting is critical because hidden costs erode margins quickly.
### Formula
**Net Profit = Sale Price - Purchase Price - Rehab Cost - Holding Costs - Selling Costs**
### Cost Components
- **Rehab**: Materials, labor, permits, contingency (add 10-15% buffer)
- **Holding**: Mortgage payments, property taxes, insurance, utilities during renovation
- **Selling**: Agent commissions (5-6%), closing costs (2-3%), transfer taxes
### Profit Targets
- Most successful flippers target 15-20% return on total investment
- Profit per month of hold time matters because time is capital tied up
- A $20,000 profit in 3 months is better than $40,000 in 12 months on a per-month basis

Ejemplo Resuelto
Buy at $180,000, rehab for $40,000, hold 5 months at $1,500/month, sell at $310,000 with 5% commission and 3% closing costs.
- Holding costs: 5 x $1,500 = $7,500
- Commission: $310,000 x 5% = $15,500
- Closing costs: $310,000 x 3% = $9,300
- Total project cost: $180,000 + $40,000 + $7,500 + $15,500 + $9,300 = $252,300
- Net profit: $310,000 - $252,300 = $57,700
- ROI: $57,700 / $252,300 = 22.9%
- Profit per month: $57,700 / 5 = $11,540
