"I've been flipping houses for 20 years and I built this tool because nothing free was actually good enough. Freddie does what I used to do with spreadsheets — but in seconds, for free, for every investor who needs it."

The seller makes no representations regarding property condition and all sales are as-is. Buyer is responsible for all due diligence, inspections, and compliance with local codes and regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should be on a house flipping checklist?

A complete flip checklist covers: deal analysis (ARV, MAO, profit), due diligence (title, inspection, permits), financing (hard money approval, draw schedule), rehab management (scope, contractors, timeline), and resale (staging, pricing, listing). Freddie guides you through all phases.

What due diligence do I need before flipping a house?

Title search (no liens or clouds), property inspection (foundation, roof, mechanicals), permit history (no open permits), flood zone check, HOA status if applicable, comparable sales for ARV validation, and contractor estimates for rehab scope. Don't close until all boxes are checked.

How do I choose a contractor for a flip?

Get 3 bids minimum, verify license and insurance, check references on recent projects, require a detailed written scope of work, use a draw schedule tied to completion milestones, and never pay more than 10% upfront. The cheapest bid is rarely the best bid.

How long does a house flip take from start to finish?

Light cosmetic flips: 60-90 days. Standard rehab: 3-5 months. Major renovation: 6-12 months. Add 30-60 days for the resale period. Budget holding costs for every month beyond your target — delays are common even on well-run projects.

What permits do I need for a house flip?

Any structural work, electrical updates, plumbing changes, HVAC replacement, additions, or deck/garage work typically requires permits. Cosmetic work (paint, flooring, fixtures, cabinets) generally does not. Unpermitted work can kill your resale — always pull required permits.

What are the biggest mistakes first-time house flippers make?

Overestimating ARV, underestimating rehab costs, underestimating hold time, using too much hard money leverage on thin deals, over-renovating for the neighborhood, not having a plan B (rental or wholesale) if the flip doesn't sell, and skipping proper due diligence.
