How the math works

Total cost = purchase + title and closing + repairs (plus the cushion) + moving + holding + selling costs.
Holding costs = (lot rent + utilities) × months until it sells.
Profit = resale price − total cost. Return = profit ÷ total cost.
Highest offer = the purchase price that still leaves your target profit after every other cost.
