How the max offer is worked out

  • Each calculator works out what happens at a price: the cash it takes, the profit or cash flow, and whether each target holds. The max offer is the highest price where every target still holds, to the $100 below.
  • Wholesale: what a flipper pays (a share of ARV, less repairs) has to leave room for your fee. The cash is your earnest money.
  • Fix & flip: profit is ARV less the price, repairs, buying and selling costs, holding, and on hard money the points and interest. The loan is a share of the price and of repairs, at most a share of ARV.
  • BRRRR: the refinance lends a share of ARV; what you put in less what it gives back is what's left in the deal. Rent has to cover the new loan, at your cash flow and DSCR, whatever you pay.
  • Buy & hold: cash flow is rent less taxes, insurance, vacancy, repairs, management and the loan; cash-on-cash is a year of it over the cash you put in.

These are estimates for deciding what to offer, not a lender's quote. Interest is counted on the whole loan for every month held, so a flip with draws costs a little less than it shows.
