Good deals are made on paper before they're made at the closing table. These are the same tools I use with my own investor clients across the Twin Cities — a flip budget tracker, a rehab cost estimator priced for Minneapolis–St. Paul, and a property analyzer that runs the numbers before you write an offer.
Free tools — no sign-up, no email required.
Fill in the yellow cells as costs come in — everything else calculates itself, so you always know whether the project is on budget and what it's on track to make.
The budget covers acquisition, holding costs, rehab, and selling costs — with projected profit and ROI on cost updating at the top as you go. Four tabs keep the entire flip in one workbook:
Opens in Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets. Yours to keep and reuse on every project.
Two calculators that pair with the tracker — one prices the renovation, the other tells you whether the property pencils out at all.
Before you offer on a fixer, price the work the way a Twin Cities contractor would bid it. Pick the projects, set the sizes, choose your finish level — and get a low, likely, and high planning range built from current Minneapolis–St. Paul pricing, not national averages.
Open the Estimator →Run the numbers before you make the offer. Enter a property's price, rent, and expenses to see the monthly cash flow and returns — so a promising listing has to prove itself on paper before it gets your earnest money.
Open the Analyzer →Start with the Investment Property Analyzer. If the cash flow and returns don't work at the asking price, you'll know in minutes — before a showing, not after an inspection.
Take your short list to the Twin Cities Project Estimator and build the rehab scope at investor-grade, standard, or premium finishes. The likely range becomes the rehab line in your offer math.
Once you're under contract, move the numbers into the Flip Budget Tracker. Estimates become actuals, variances show up early, and your projected profit stays honest all the way to list day.
All figures from these tools are planning estimates, not bids, appraisals, or a guarantee of profit. Confirm costs with your contractor and returns with your lender and tax advisor before you buy.
