Deal Math

Real estate wholesaling lives and dies by mathematically ensuring the end-buyer (the flipper) has enough meat on the bone.

MAO = (ARV * 0.70) - Estimated Repairs - Assignment Fee

How it’s used

You input the After Repair Value (ARV) of the home according to market comps, the estimated rehab costs to get it to market condition, and the wholesale assignment fee you want to collect.

Why it matters

It completely removes emotion from distressed property negotiations. By sticking strictly to the 70% rule, wholesalers ensure that the end-buyer has enough margin to make the deal highly attractive, ensuring the contract actually closes instead of falling through during inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions

House flippers need the 30% discount to cover closing costs (when buying and selling), holding costs (high-interest hard money loans), realtor commissions, and their own target profit margins.
It's the wholesale profit you make by finding the distressed property, putting it under contract, and legally assigning that contract to the end-buyer.
