The numbers
Build the offer from evidence
ARV estimation
Estimate the after-repair value from the comps, and label it as the estimate it is. Update it when better information arrives.
MAO calculation
Apply one written maximum-allowable-offer formula, so two people analyzing the same property reach the same number.
Rehab estimates
Base repair estimates on what you can verify — photos, the walk-through or a trusted contractor — and be conservative on unknowns.
Make the numbers consistent
One formula, honestly labeled
Offer math
Work from the ARV, repairs, costs and your fee to the offer. Every financial estimate carries its Est. label until the numbers are verified.
Review the misses
Compare your estimates against what actually happened on closed deals, and tighten the formula in the Weekly Momentum Meeting.
