Spec Home Investment Calculator: Acquire & Build

If you’re looking to tear down and rebuild a property as a speculative investment, knowing your numbers before you commit is critical. This strategy—Purchase, Teardown, Build, and Sell—can produce excellent returns, especially in hot markets with strong buyer demand. But profit margins disappear quickly without a clear understanding of your capital outlay, timeline, and sale projections.

That’s where our Build to Sell Spec Home Calculator comes in. This tool gives you a full breakdown of your:

  • Total project costs (including permits, materials, and contingencies)
  • Cash required to close
  • Prepaid interest during construction
  • Monthly qualifying income needed
  • Estimated profit and ROI (with or without partners)

Give it a try below.
