House Flippers Lack Dedicated Tools for Tracking Rehab Expenses by Project

Real estate investors who flip houses struggle to accurately track all rehabilitation expenses per project, including contractor payments, material costs, permits, and holding costs, in a way that maps to deal-level profitability. General accounting software is not designed around the project-based structure of house flipping, making profit and loss analysis at deal close difficult without significant manual work. The inability to track costs in real time also makes it hard to identify budget overruns before they become critical.
