Direct answer

$30k–50k net on a $200k ARV; $50k–100k on $400k ARV; scale up with experience.

Expanded explanation

Compute net profit AFTER all costs: acquisition, rehab, holding (3–6 months), agent commission (6%), closing. Many first-time flippers forget commission and closing — wiping 10% of ARV.

Examples

  • $200k ARV − $130k all-in − $12k commission − $4k closing = $54k profit.
