By profit, they also mean you can tack on improvements to the cost of the home. Let's say you paid $200K for your home. You add landscaping, driveway coating, window treatments, etc for a grand total of $20K. That means anything more than $220K would be profit, not $200K, also don't forget to deduct real estate commission from your profit. That now takes you up to about $233K before you realize any profit.
