This fix‑and‑flip financial‑model is designed to give real‑estate professionals a "command‑center" view of both individual projects and an entire flipping program that may stretch over a decade. At its core is a monthly cash‑flow engine that captures every dollar in and out—from the day you close on a property, through staged rehab draws and hold‑period expenses, to the eventual resale and payoff of debt. You can configure up to three distinct property types, each with its own purchase price, rehab budget broken into five tranches, and customized leverage terms. Whether interest is paid monthly, accrued, or capitalized as PIK, the template schedules it precisely, producing a highly realistic liquidity forecast.
Beyond single deals, the model excels at portfolio‑scale planning. Launch projects in staggered waves, watch your operating‑account balance rise and fall, and test how fast you can grow before cash becomes a constraint. Dynamic corporate‑overhead and staffing modules tie headcount and fixed costs directly to deal volume, so you see not only project returns but also what it takes to build a sustainable flipping business. Two optional waterfall structures—simple splits or tiered IRR hurdles—let you present returns the same way your joint‑venture partners expect to see them, and a full discounted‑cash‑flow tab values both the overall project and each partner's stake.
Sixteen pre‑built dashboards turn the raw numbers into insights: you'll spot leverage peaks, equity injections, cumulative profit, and headcount ramp at a glance. Leaving the last few forecast months free of new acquisitions lets you visualize the "run‑off" of remaining projects, revealing the final lump of cash that arrives when operations wind down—critical for exit planning or a refinance conversation.
Typical users include active house‑flippers ready to scale beyond a handful of properties, private‑equity or family‑office teams underwriting a fix‑and‑flip platform investment, and lenders or capital advisers who need to stress‑test borrower projections. Fractional CFOs and real‑estate consultants also deploy the template as a client‑facing tool, leveraging its clarity and depth to speed due‑diligence, capital‑raising, and board‑level reporting.
