The Flip Tracker

The Flip Tracker is the money view of your flipping: what you've committed to, what capital is tied up in inventory, and the ROI on everything you've sold. It's built entirely from the outcomes you record — no separate data entry.

The three stages

A flip moves through three stages, mirroring real life:

• Committed — you clicked "Going to pick up" (or marked it acquired) but haven't recorded what you paid yet. These sit in a "record what you paid" list so nothing falls through the cracks.
• In hand (capital tied up) — you've recorded a purchase price but it hasn't sold. This is real money parked in inventory, with how long each item has been held (aging) so stale capital is visible.
• Sold (completed flips) — money in, cost basis, net profit, ROI, margin, and days-to-flip per item, rolled into headline totals.

Recording an outcome

On a listing you've committed to, use Record what you paid (or Record Outcome) to enter the acquisition price and, later, the sale price and any repair/transport costs. That's what powers the tracker — and feeds Calibration, which compares what actually happened to what was predicted.

How the numbers stay honest

• Capital tied up counts only money you actually recorded spending — a committed-but-unpriced pickup shows as Committed, not tied-up capital, so inventory never inflates.
• Cost basis is acquisition + repair + transport, matching the rest of the app, so ROI here is consistent with calibration.
• It's read-only — it reports over your recorded outcomes and never re-scores anything.

The pipeline, end to end: Committed → In hand → Sold.
