Compare exits sits near the bottom of Analysis. It puts three cards side by side: Flip, Wholesale, and Rent it. Each card fills in when you've saved the numbers it needs.
| Card | Shows | Fill it in by |
|---|---|---|
| Flip | Projected profit and the return on cost | Saving Purchase price and ARV estimate in the worksheet |
| Wholesale | Assignment fee, with no rehab or holding costs | Typing Wholesale price in the worksheet and choosing Save worksheet |
| Rent it | Cash flow each month, cash-on-cash return, and the cash left in | Filling in Rent it instead? and choosing Save rental plan |
Wholesale
Wholesale price is what another investor would pay for your contract. The Wholesale fee is that price minus your purchase price.
If Dana could assign the example contract for $172,000, the fee would be $12,000 with no rehab and no hold. Against a projected flip profit of $21,093.35, the page says “Flipping makes $21,093.35, $9,093.35 more than wholesaling, for the months of rehab and holding.”
Rent
Rent is shown beside the other two but isn't ranked against them, because a monthly cash flow and a one-time profit aren't the same kind of number. Keep it or sell it explains the rental side.
