Why NEEDS MORE INFO
The resale price and rehab budget are illustrative assumptions, with no verified comparable sales or contractor quote.
HOA and owner-paid utilities are unknown and excluded. Property tax and insurance are estimates.
The modeled 8.25% initial flip ROI falls below this example’s 10% screening target.
Illustrative only

This fictional example needs more information before its assumptions could support a real investment decision.

An assumed $1,147,844 resale produces $76,703 in modeled profit after $1,071,141 of total project cost. This is an illustration of Maison’s calculations, not an appraisal, completed transaction or customer result.

Initial flip ROI = net profit ÷ (purchase price + rehab). Scout uses total project cost for its screening return, so the percentages use different bases.

NEXT STEP

For a real property, confirm recent closed-sale evidence, obtain a written renovation scope, and replace every estimated or missing cost with a property-specific figure before relying on the result.

Understand the return basis

The report’s initial flip ROI is 8.25%: modeled net profit divided by purchase price plus rehab. On total project cost, including the listed transaction and holding costs, the same profit is 7.16%. These percentages use different denominators; neither is an annualized return.

No income-tax calculation is included. The example uses estimated property tax and insurance, and leaves HOA and owner-paid utilities unknown. No comparable properties are included or claimed as supporting this fictional resale price.
