Have you ever done a flip in your life? I just sold one for 1.2M with a 900k purchase price. The 300k spread was enough to generate 150k profit.
Many, math donāt lie. You said renovation cost is 150k, if that is true then true profit is around 50k.
Please prove us wrong and I will be the first one to bow down to you

Esfgiants and wuqijun would bet.
Losers paid for lunch in Hooters.
Both would bring their numbers to the meet up.
We would decide who is correct.
Wow! Free lunch again 
Reminder to Esfgiants, is not lunch for wuqijun, is paid for those who attended.
wuqijun paid for 4 persons lunch 
in BJ restaurants.

Really? So late at night and you are forcing me to do mathā¦ okā¦
Purchase 1.088M
Rehab cost 150k
Property tax 9k
Debt interest 20k
Total cost 1.267M
Sales Price 1.45M
Commission 72.5k
Profit before tax is 1.45M - 72500 - 1.267M = $110,000
Ok, not quite the 150k I thought he made but also not your 50k either.
Ok, I paid for @tomato today and he was very gracious about it. I was generous enough to pay for your meal as well as a free ride (although I never intended to do so to begin with), but judging from your post you donāt seem to be very appreciative of my generosity. Which is fine but it does show what kind of a person you are. And donāt expect any free meal again (at least not from me).

Property tax is more like 12k. Also transfer taxes and other crap fees.
Debt interests also seems low.
Ok so he made 100k.
comission is probably less? maybe the agent is the flipper?
Agent seems to be unrelated to the seller based on my research. So I put down 5%. But some agents do charge 4.5% only, and some others charge 5.5% which is totally insaneā¦ those agents need to be dumped.
I said he probably made 150k because I was comparing his flip to my recent flip which I also made 150k with even less of a spreadā¦ I guess I am the savvier flipper (didnāt mean to brag)ā¦
While we are at it, wuqijun - are you tax sheltering that profit money somehow? Whatās your strategy?
Noā¦ just pay the tax. I am always very generous to the government when it comes to taxes and try to overpay my share whenever I canā¦ Government needs that money to build better infrastructure for usā¦

Why? I mean sure, taxes pay for infrastructure, but there is no shame in legal tax avoidance
Different people have different perspectives in life. Itās perfectly ok to avoid tax lawfully but thatās not how I want to live life.
you are very generous, i have to say. I feel sad when i see a big chunk of my pay goes to taxes, then a big chunk will then go into property taxes, and i still get no free healthcare, and still fear for being bankrupt when someone decides to sue me and so on.
Awwwā¦ well, I believe in karma so if Iām paying more than my share of taxes the good karma will come back to me eventually. Just think of it as charity
would you not prefer to give it to a better charity/more efficient charity etc?
I know a lot of people donāt trust the government or think they are very inefficent. However personally I donāt have a problem with the government so I wouldnāt mind contributing to it. Americaās government is pretty transparent and corruption free so itās not something I worry about.
Good math, only thing missing is the 15k from when they bought the house with a loan, title insurance, points etc, and staging. So 20k less than your 110k = 90k.
I was wrong about it being āaround 50ā but 90 is closer to 50 than 150 haha
