How the math works

Investor's max price = ARV × investor's percentage − repairs − other costs.
Your maximum offer = investor's max price − your fee.

The percentage is a rule of thumb, not a law. It leaves the investor room for their own profit and the costs you didn't list. Check what real buyers in your market actually pay before you lean on it.

This calculator gives a rough estimate for learning purposes. It is not an appraisal and not advice. Your numbers are only as good as your ARV and repair estimate.
