Buy-Right Scorecard
Three tests before you put money in. Fail one, walk or renegotiate.
1Buy box
Does it fit what you wrote down before you looked? Rentals all in at 70% of value or less. Flips all in at 80% or less with profit cushion.
2Bad case
Your own comps, every cost. Rehab over, timeline slips, ARV low. Does it still work?
3Execution
Money lined up, contractor with an itemized scope and signed agreement, a known exit.
Decision
Walking is a win when the numbers fail.
