Markets
How long flips actually take to sell in the 120 largest US counties - and the loan term each one needs.
A flip is renovation, then time on market, then the buyer's closing. Only the first is under your control, and the other two still cost you interest.
Across these markets the tail runs a median of 2.7 months — leaving about 9.3 months of renovation allowance inside a standard 12-month term. So market time alone rarely breaks a term. What it does reliably is cost you money after the work is finished, and the spread is wide: from under a fortnight in the fastest markets to over three months in the slowest.
