Fix-and-Flip Maximum Offer (70% Rule)
Maximum allowable offer = ARV x 70% - repairs (minus any wholesale fee); the 30% held back covers holding, financing, selling, and profit. ARV $300K, $40K repairs -> a $170K max offer, $90K gross spread. A rule of thumb, not an appraisal.
Formula and source
MAO = ARV x rule% - repairs - fee; spread = ARV - MAO - repairs.
The fix-and-flip 70% rule heuristic used by real-estate investors, by name.
