About this house flip plan
Every week a flip takes adds holding costs such as loan interest, taxes and utilities. A timeline makes those weeks visible and shows which delays — permits, contractor availability, inspections — push out the sale.
It fits a cosmetic-to-moderate renovation of a single-family home.
Who it's for: Real estate investors, flippers and renovation contractors.
