How much can you pay for a potential project house that you are evaluating? You must first answer several other questions.

  • What are all of the expenses?
    • What are the improvement costs?
    • What are the quiet costs? These are closing costs and the carrying costs.
    • What are the your company overhead costs? These are costs such as employees, gas, paper, ink, etc.
  • What are the investment and return requirements?
    • What is the project duration?
    • What total investment is necessary?
    • What profit is necessary for the total risk?

These answers all factor into how much you can pay for the house. If you haven’t analyzed the numbers, you are at a serious disadvantage. You can’t be certain that you will make your desired profit. Even worse, you may work for no profit at all!
