How the House Flipping Expense Tracker Works
From the first deposit to the final invoice, every dollar you spend on a flip is logged against the budget line it belongs to. Here is the four-step flow.
1. Set your budget lines
Start from your feasibility. Every cost item, from acquisition and trades to fees and holding costs, becomes a budget line on the project.
2. Log payments as they happen
Record deposits, progress payments and final invoices against the right line item, with the GST component calculated for you.
3. Snap the receipt
Photograph receipts on site or upload invoices from your laptop. Each document is stored with the transaction it belongs to.
4. Watch budget vs actual
See spend against budget on every line with red and green indicators, so you catch an overrun before the next payment goes out.
Track Every Fee,
Not Just the Renovation.
Trades and materials are only part of what a flip costs. The fees around the deal, and the holding costs that grow every week you own the property, are where margins quietly disappear.
FlipSync IQ lets you log these costs in the same place as your renovation spend, so your numbers reflect the full cost of the project. Want to see what they do to your margin before you buy? Model them up front with our house flipping budget tool.
Agent & selling fees
Agent commission, marketing and styling costs logged against the sale, not lost in a separate spreadsheet.
Council & permit fees
Development applications, permits and inspection fees tied to the stage of works they belong to.
Finance & holding costs
Loan interest, rates, insurance and utilities recorded as they fall due, so a schedule slip shows up in dollars.
Legal & conveyancing
Conveyancing, settlement and legal fees on both the purchase and the sale, captured with their invoices.
