How to read the numbers

The example assumes full rent after renovation. Vacancy, repairs after leasing, selling costs and income taxes are excluded. Cash to close includes three months of tax and insurance escrow. Holding time is renovation cost divided by weekly spend and 4.3 weeks per month.

Cash invested includes closing, holding and refinance costs. If the loan amounts differ, it also accounts for the bridge payoff less refinance proceeds. Captured equity is after-repair value less purchase price and renovation; it is not cash received.

The five-year view follows the worksheet: year one uses today’s rent and expenses; year two uses two growth periods. Property values start at today’s ARV. The worksheet credits estimated principal paydown of 1%, 2%, and 3% of refinance principal in years two through four, with none added in year five. These are workbook assumptions, not a mortgage payoff schedule. The five-year return includes unrealized equity and is not an IRR.
