Wholesalers, STOP! You are paying TOO much for your deals! Now before you fire off that hate mail, let me explain. I know that some of you are moving deals all day long at 80%-82% of ARV, and that’s great. You may have a good buyer list or people that you work with that can turn a profit in your market at those numbers, but that should be the exception and not the rule. I talk to investors every day and they are tightening down their buying criteria.
Investors will eat up deals that are 70%-75% of ARV all in ALL day long! This means that you have to crunch your numbers before you ever even pick up the phone to call your motivated seller. It will take a little more time, but the payout will be worth it.
Now, let’s talk about the 70% rule. The 70% rule is a basic quick calculation to determine what the maximum price you should offer on a property should be. This calculation is made by multiplying the after repaired value (“ARV”) by 70% and then subtracting any repairs needed. This gives you a 30% margin to cover your profit, holding costs & closing costs. Many experienced investors tighten this number up to being 75%.
