Fix & Flip Basics Quiz

Five quick questions about ARV, rehab, holding costs, hard money, and real project profit.

Question 1 of 5

What does ARV stand for?

Why: ARV is After-Repair Value — an estimate of the property’s value after the planned renovation is complete.
Question 2 of 5

Which formula is closest to a real flip profit calculation?

Why: A flip has many costs beyond the acquisition price. Real profit is what remains after the entire project is paid for.
Question 3 of 5

Which is a holding cost?

Why: Utilities, insurance, taxes, HOA, maintenance, security, and financing costs can continue while the property is held.
Question 4 of 5

Why should you stress-test ARV?

Why: ARV is an estimate. A cushion helps protect the project when the market, rehab, or sale does not go exactly as planned.
Question 5 of 5

What is a common exit from short-term hard money on a BRRRR deal?

Why: A BRRRR investor commonly plans to refinance short-term acquisition/rehab financing after the property is repaired and stabilized, subject to the takeout lender’s approval.
