Deal Analysis and Deal Systems
Three proven frameworks for analyzing, funding, and executing real estate deals. Choose your strategy and follow the system.
The Fix & Flip Deal System
Fix and Flip * BRRR * Small Rentals
From acquisition to closing in 60–90 days
Fix-and-flip is the fastest path to a large lump-sum profit in real estate. The key is a repeatable system that eliminates guesswork at every stage — from finding the right deal to selling at maximum ARV.
The 5-Step System
01 Deal Sourcing
Use PropStream or DealMachine to build targeted lists of distressed properties. Focus on absentee owners, pre-foreclosures, and high-equity properties in your target zip codes.
02 ARV & MAO Analysis
Run comps using DealCheck or Redfin. Apply the 70% Rule (ARV × 0.70 − Rehab = Max Offer) as your ceiling, then negotiate down from there.
03 Funding the Deal
Hard money lenders like Kiavi or RCN Capital will fund 85–90% of purchase + 100% of rehab. Expect 9–12% interest, 1–2 points, 6–12 month terms.
04 Rehab Management
Use a detailed scope of work before getting contractor bids. Track progress with BuilderTrend or a simple spreadsheet. Never pay more than 50% upfront.
05 Listing & Sale
List at ARV or slightly below for fast sale. Use a flat-fee MLS service or a commission-based agent depending on your market. Stage the property.
