A lot of flippers run their numbers, feel good about the deal, and buy the house. Then it takes longer to sell and costs more than they expected, and by the time it closes, the PROFIT they were counting on is mostly gone. Most of them can't even tell you where it went.

It usually went to costs they never put in their deal analysis. Some are costs every flipper knows about but guesses too low on. Others are small enough that people skip them, until they add up over a few months of holding the house. And there's one cost most investors don't plan for at all, even though buyers are asking for it more and more in this market.

In this episode, I break down every cost that hits a flip from the day you buy to the day you sell, and how the pros are building them into their offer up front. Everybody says you win when you buy. I'll show you what that actually means.

Including:

- The cost you pay twice on every flip, and the easy move that makes the second one cheaper

- What list-to-sell ratios between 94% and 97% are telling you about your sale price

- The slow months to watch for in your market, and why buying in September can stretch your hold time

- The simple insurance rule of thumb for flips

- Monthly costs most forget about until month six

Knowing these costs only helps if you actually put them into every offer you make. That's what we cover in our free deal analysis workshop, so you know what you're going to make on a deal before you buy it.

Most flippers hand 40 to 60 percent of their profit to the government. My CPA Ryan has invested in real estate for 15 years and plans every year to keep his total tax as low as the law allows. He shows you the plan he follows. Most of it has to happen before December 31st.

Ryan has prepared returns for 21 seasons.

Apply his tips while there's still time to use them for 2026

Here's what he talks about:

- The percent Ryan sets aside from every flip for taxes, and the one check-in he does after each deal

- The type of return the IRS audits most, and why Ryan won't sign his own

- Why a short-term rental owner might need two or three cleaning crews

- How Ryan's LLC pays him $800 a day to rent his own house, and the $5,000-a-day mistake that got people in trouble

- How $100,000 of income drops to zero, including $14,000 paid to his kids

SEPTEMBER 17th & 18th: FREE MARKETING AND SALES MASTERCLASS: https://offers.7figureflipping.com/masm

A few years ago I was paying three to eight hundred bucks for a single seller lead in my county, and today I'm paying a hundred and fifty for the same lead, same source, and same county. The price dropped because my competition quit.

Everybody's saying the market is hard and there's no deals out there, and they're right that some things got harder, but they're wrong about what that means for you, because when everyone decides it's too hard and stops marketing, the cost to get in front of a motivated seller falls through the floor.

In this episode, I break down why the market everybody's complaining about is actually the cheapest and least crowded market I've seen in a decade. I walk through the cash conversion cycle that scares investors into quitting right before their marketing starts working, the niche marketing numbers that are getting me fifteen to twenty one dollars back for every dollar I spend, and why cheap access, rising supply, and almost no competition adds up to the best setup you're going to get if you're still standing.

- The exact dollar amount seller leads cost me a few years ago compared to what I'm paying today, and why the drop has nothing to do with lead quality

- The real reason most investors quit their marketing right before it starts paying off

- How long it actually takes from your first marketing dollar to your first dollar back, and why almost nobody sticks around long enough to find out

- The return I'm getting on niche marketing channels most investors never even touch

- The three things stacking in your favor right now that almost nobody else is paying attention to

This week I broke down our exact marketing and sales playbook. The real data sources, the channel stack, the conversion numbers, and the budgets that actually work. Grab the Marketing and Sales Playbook:
