FAQ
What’s a typical MAO rule for wholesalers?
A common heuristic is 70% of ARV minus repairs, but real buyers vary (65–75%+). Use the % that matches your end-buyer’s criteria.
Where should I include closing or holding costs?
Use the 'Other costs' line item. Different markets and financing terms can materially change this number.
Is this formula always right?
It’s a shortcut. It’s useful for fast screening, but you should validate with a buyer and a more detailed rehab/closing estimate.
