What's on the cheat sheet
One printable page. Eight exit strategies, each with the same four rows: when it is your play, the formula, the green-light signal, and the rookie mistake.
Wholesale
When the ARV is there but the rehab is too heavy for you, how to back into an offer that still leaves spread for your end buyer, and the two-week assignment test.
Fix & Flip
The offer ceiling after repairs, holding, and closing costs, the margin signal measured against ARV, and the carrying months that get left out of a first flip budget.
Buy & Hold
The cash-on-cash check, the signal that rent actually covers the payment with reserves left over, and why appreciation is not the plan.
BRRRR
Whether the post-repair refinance returns your capital with cash flow still standing, and the over-improvement trap that kills the refi.
Subject-To
How the existing payment has to compare to market rent, and the stress test to run on the due-on-sale clause.
Seller Finance
Where the profit comes from on a below-market-rate note, the terms worth asking for, and why no bank does not mean no title search.
Lease Option
The three places a lease option pays you, the premium and spread that make it worth doing, and how to price the option.
Novation
The net after repairs, seller payoff, and fees, and why you need a signed novation agreement before you take on rehab risk.
Who it's for
- You are looking at a deal where the numbers are tight and you need to know which exit, if any, still works.
- You are comparing an exit you have not run before against the one you usually use.
- You are deciding whether to walk, and you want the one signal for that exit that says go or no.
- You are about to write an offer and want to check the classic mistake for that exit before you sign.
How to use it
- 1
Run the numbers before the offer.
Pick the exit that matches the seller's situation, then work the formula on that card with your own ARV, repair, and cost figures.
- 2
Check the green-light signal.
Each card names the single condition that says the deal clears the bar for that exit. If you cannot hit it, try the next exit or walk.
- 3
Check the rookie mistake.
Each card names the mistake that sinks deals in that exit. Read it before you commit, not after.
- 4
Keep it next to the analyzer.
When you are ready to go deeper than one page, the Appraize analyzer models all eight exits on a specific address.
Questions
What does the cheat sheet cost?
Nothing. It is free. Enter your email address and it is sent to you. There is no purchase and no trial to start.
What format does it arrive in?
A single printable page, sized to fit one sheet of paper. You can print it or save it as a PDF from your browser. It is sent to the email address you enter.
Do I need an Appraize account?
No. The form asks for an email address only. It does not create an account, and it is separate from the analyzer's free trial.
How does it relate to the full analyzer?
The cheat sheet is the quick reference: the formula, the signal, and the mistake for each exit, on paper. The Appraize analyzer runs a specific address through all eight exits with its own ARV, repair, and comp figures. The free trial includes 3 analyses in 14 days with no credit card required, and shows 2 of the 8 exit strategies for each address: Wholesale and Fix & Flip.
