Use the LeadExchange Wholesale Deal Analyzer to estimate your maximum allowable offer, total project costs, potential equity and potential wholesale margin before you commit to a contract.
A wholesale deal analyzer helps investors evaluate whether a property may have enough margin to make a potential wholesale transaction worthwhile. The calculator considers the property’s estimated after-repair value, purchase price, renovation costs, transaction expenses and desired profit, then compares your proposed purchase price against a calculated ceiling.
MAO stands for Maximum Allowable Offer. It represents the highest purchase price an investor is willing to pay based on the assumptions used in the analysis. A commonly used formula is:
The appropriate percentage varies depending on the investor, market, financing, property condition and exit strategy — which is why this calculator lets you choose 65%, 70%, 75%, 80% or a custom figure.
Here’s how the math plays out on a typical single-family flip candidate:
| ARV | $200,000 |
| Maximum ARV % (70%) | $140,000 |
| Estimated Rehab | −$40,000 |
| Closing Costs | −$5,000 |
| Holding / Financing Costs | −$5,000 |
| Desired Profit | −$15,000 |
| Maximum Allowable Offer | $75,000 |
If the investor can put the property under contract at or below $75,000, the deal clears the 70% rule threshold with the rehab, costs and desired profit already accounted for.
The 70% rule is a commonly used investor guideline that estimates a maximum purchase price based on approximately 70% of ARV minus estimated repairs. It is a guideline rather than a universal rule.
MAO means Maximum Allowable Offer. It represents the highest price an investor estimates they can pay while still meeting their target deal economics.
No. The calculator provides an estimate based on the numbers entered. Actual costs, property condition, financing, market conditions and resale value can differ.
Yes. Wholesalers can use it as an initial screening tool before performing more detailed due diligence.
ARV means After Repair Value. It is an estimate of what a property could potentially be worth after completing the planned renovations.
