Risks & constraints
Where the floor is. And what to verify.
Named risk patterns for this asset class. Underwrite against them.
Over-improvement risk in compressed margin environment
Resale median at $555K with 2.8% YOY appreciation limits ARV upside. Scope rehabs to cosmetic and critical mechanical updates only — avoid luxury finishes that exceed neighborhood comps by more than 10%.
Permit delay exposure in active development market
Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission meets twice monthly with active 2025-2026 agendas. Mechanical, electrical, and structural permits may face extended review timelines. Budget 4–6 weeks for permit approval on any scope requiring city sign-off.
Under-scoped mechanical systems in 20+ year homes
32% of new listings are 20+ years old. HVAC, water heaters, and electrical panels in this cohort frequently require full replacement rather than repair. Always include mechanical inspection contingency and budget 15% contingency reserve for hidden system failures.
DOM-triggered price reduction cascade
81% of homes over 24 DOM required price reductions in March 2026. If flip exits at 30+ DOM, expect 5–8% reduction pressure. Underwrite conservative exit pricing and avoid relisting — price correctly on day one.
