Deal Viability Guidelines

Good Deal (15%+ margin)

Strong margin provides cushion for unexpected costs and market changes. Move forward with confidence.

Tight Deal (5-15% margin)

Little room for error. Get professional inspections and be conservative with repair estimates before proceeding.

Poor Deal (<5% margin)

High risk. Any unexpected costs or market shifts will eliminate your margin. Renegotiate or walk away.
