Build Real Estate Flip Skills With The Math And The Method

• Practice evaluating comparable sales, after-repair value, repair budgets, and conservative flip pro formas.
• Understand funding options, contractor coordination, permits, change orders, and renovation decisions that protect margins.

A practical property investing course with Professor Daniel Martin on evaluating, renovating, funding, and exiting profitable flips.

This Real Estate course walks students through the full fix-and-flip process, beginning with how profit is really made and how local market demand shapes the opportunity. Students learn to source viable deals, study buyer expectations, compare recent sales, and estimate after-repair value before committing capital.

Fix and Flip: The Math and the Method also focuses heavily on deal mathematics, including maximum allowable offer, repair estimates, holding costs, selling costs, and transaction friction. By building a conservative flip pro forma, students learn how to evaluate whether a project has enough margin to justify the risk.

The course then moves into acquisition discipline, financing, renovation planning, and project execution. Students examine private money, hard money, draw schedules, contractor bids, permits, change orders, timelines, budget controls, and quality decisions that match the intended exit without over-improving the property.

By the end of the course, students will have a practical framework for analyzing Real Estate flip opportunities, managing renovation risk, pricing the finished property, and reviewing each project before scaling carefully. They will leave with clearer judgment, stronger numbers, and a more professional method for approaching profitable flips.
