For us to consider your deal, you need to provide the following information:
- What the house will sell for after it has been rehabbed (ARV).
- The total rehab cost.
Calculating AARE’s Maximum Allowable Offer (MAO)
Maximum Allowable Offer 70% RULE
ARV x 0.7 (70%) – Rehab = MAO
Example:
$600K ARV house that needs $100K in rehab
$600K * 0.7 = 420K
$420K – $100K = $320K Maximum Allowable Offer (MAO)
