FAQ
- What should I include in flip costs?
- Include purchase price, recon, transport, title or auction fees, detailing, listing costs, and a cushion for the repair you did not expect.
- Can a clean profit estimate still be a bad buy?
- Yes. Title brands, mileage issues, flood clues, or model-specific repair risk can erase the spread. Run the VIN before buying inventory.
