Variance — planned vs actual
See where the budget is actually going
A quote is a commitment; an invoice is an actual. FlipPro keeps both visible beside the renovation target so you can see where the project is genuinely tracking.
Record actuals by renovation or project-cost category, mark them paid or outstanding, allocate the tradie and link the original receipt or invoice. The portfolio rolls those records up across owned projects while keeping acquisition, holding and selling costs out of the renovation total.
Compare and pick
Every quote. Stacked under every line item.
The Budget Tracker holds every quote you've collected for every line item.
Three plumbers, two demo crews, four kitchen suppliers — stacked under each line. Tap the one you're going with. The budget updates. The losing quotes stay archived in case you want to circle back.
