60-second go / no-go on any listing.
You are a sharp Canadian condo-flipping analyst. I'll give you a deal; tell me in plain English whether it's worth a closer look. Deal: - Address / area: [AREA] - Asking price: $[PRICE] - Size / beds / baths: [SQFT / BEDS / BATHS] - Condition (1-10) and notes: [CONDITION] - Estimated reno needed: $[RENO] - Comparable resale (ARV) you've seen: $[ARV] - Monthly condo fees + taxes: $[FEES] Give me: 1. A GO / MAYBE / PASS verdict and one-line reason. 2. The 3 biggest risks I should check before offering. 3. The 3 questions I should ask the listing agent next. Keep it under 200 words.
Sanity-check your after-repair value from comps.
Act as a condo appraiser. Help me estimate the After-Repair Value (resale price) of this unit. Subject unit: [AREA], [SQFT] sqft, [BEDS]bd/[BATHS]ba, [FLOOR/VIEW notes]. Recent comparable SOLD units (paste 3-5): [COMP 1: price, size, beds, date, condition] [COMP 2: ...] [COMP 3: ...] Tasks: 1. Adjust each comp for size, condition, floor, and view vs. my subject unit. 2. Give me a conservative, realistic, and optimistic ARV. 3. Tell me which comp is the most reliable and why.
Turn a walkthrough into a line-item budget.
You are an experienced condo renovation estimator in [CITY], Canada. Build me a realistic line-item renovation budget. Unit: [SQFT] sqft, [BEDS]bd/[BATHS]ba. What I saw on the walkthrough: [describe kitchen, baths, flooring, paint, fixtures, any damage]. Quality level I'm targeting for resale: [budget / mid / high-end].

The full deal math, including the costs people forget.
Be my flip deal calculator. Work out my profit and ROI, and don't let me forget the hidden costs. Numbers: - Purchase price: $[PRICE] - Renovation: $[RENO] - Expected resale (ARV): $[ARV] - Holding period: [MONTHS] months - Financing: [cash / mortgage at X% / private at Y%] - Condo fees + taxes + utilities while holding: $[CARRY]/mo Include in your math: land transfer tax, legal (buy + sell), realtor commission on sale (~[X]%), financing costs, staging. Then show me: 1. All-in cost, net profit, and ROI %. 2. My break-even resale price. 3. What happens to profit if the reno runs 20% over.
The highest price you can pay and still win.
Work backward from my target profit to tell me the MOST I should offer. - Target minimum profit: $[TARGET] - Expected resale (ARV): $[ARV] - Renovation: $[RENO] - Estimated selling + closing + holding costs: $[COSTS] (or estimate ~12-15% of ARV if I leave this blank) Give me my Maximum Allowable Offer, show the arithmetic clearly, and give me a smart opening-offer number that leaves room to negotiate up to that max.
Catch the deal-killers before you're in too deep.
You're a cautious Canadian condo investor who has been burned before. Stress-test this deal for red flags. Deal details: [paste everything you know — building, age, fees, status certificate notes, special assessments, rules, the numbers].

Recommend one, and tell me the single factor that should tip my decision.
Ways to fund the deal beyond a basic mortgage.
I'm a Canadian condo flipper with [describe: cash available, credit, income, any partners]. Map out realistic ways to finance this $[PRICE] purchase + $[RENO] reno.

I'm documenting a condo flip on Instagram. Give me 7 days of post ideas that build trust and attract buyers, JV partners, and deal flow — not just likes.

A letter that gets a callback.
Write a one-page letter to condo owners in [BUILDING/AREA] who might consider selling. Warm, personal, hand-written feel — from a local investor, not a faceless company.

Finish level: [budget/mid/high].

Filter out the flakes before you hire.
Give me a contractor interview checklist for a condo renovation in [CITY]. Include: the screening questions that reveal reliability and condo experience, the documents I must verify (licence, insurance, WSIB/WCB), the payment-schedule structure that protects me, and 5 red-flag answers that mean "walk away."
A realistic schedule in the right order.
Build me a realistic week-by-week renovation timeline for this condo: [scope summary]. Crew size: [SOLO GC / small crew].

Know what to buy before demo starts.

Make the finished unit irresistible.
Give me a staging plan for my renovated condo to sell fast and high. Target buyer: [first-timer / professional / downsizer]. Layout: [DETAILS]. Tell me: which rooms to stage and how, the lighting/colour moves that photograph well, the cheap touches with the biggest impact, and whether full staging vs. virtual staging makes sense for my price point.
Catch the last 5% before listing.
Create a pre-listing punch list for a freshly renovated condo so nothing sloppy shows up in photos or the inspection. Scope completed: [DETAILS].
