FIX & FLIP PROPERTIES
IN BALTIMORE

A fix and flip property is a distressed or outdated home bought at a discount, renovated, and resold for a profit — typically within 4-8 months. Flippers target properties with visible upside: dated kitchens and baths, cosmetic wear, functional obsolescence, or deferred maintenance. Impact House Deals sources off-market flip inventory in Central Maryland priced for cash buyers who move fast.

Three things: strong ARV comps (recently sold, renovated, within 0.5 miles), a rehab scope the investor can actually execute on, and a purchase price that leaves at least 30-40% spread to ARV after rehab. Baltimore County markets like Parkville, Dundalk, and Catonsville typically have the cleanest flip comps. Baltimore City inventory can have bigger spreads but requires tighter neighborhood knowledge.

Parkville, Dundalk, Middle River, Catonsville, Pikesville, and Towson are the top owner-occupant flip markets in Baltimore County — strong retail buyer demand, clean comps, and predictable sales velocity. In Baltimore City, Hamilton, Lauraville, Belair-Edison, and parts of Canton/Highlandtown see active flip activity. Every deal listed on this page shows the neighborhood and nearest comps.

Most Baltimore fix and flip investors target $30K-$60K net profit per deal. Higher-ARV flips in Towson or Catonsville can generate $75K-$125K+ on premium properties; tighter-margin Baltimore City flips aim for $20K-$40K per deal but turn faster. The 70% rule bakes in roughly $25K-$50K of margin depending on ARV.

No, but first-time flippers should plan for the first deal to take longer and cost more than projected. Our acquisitions team flags deals that are first-timer friendly (cosmetic or moderate rehab, predictable comps, owner-occupant exit) vs. advanced (gut rehabs, complex zoning, structural issues). Talk to us before you offer on your first deal so we can steer you to the right kind of inventory.

Cash buyers can close in 7-10 days. Hard money loans typically close in 10-21 days depending on experience and lender relationships. We prefer fast closings — most of our off-market contracts have 14-21 day closing windows. Our buyer FAQ and the Hard Money Lenders guide cover the typical timeline in detail.
