Maximum Offer Calculator

Use the 70% rule to determine your maximum purchase price on any flip deal.

What This Tool Does

The Maximum Offer Calculator applies the investor's 70% rule to determine the most you should pay for a property. Enter the after-repair value (ARV) and your estimated rehab costs, and the calculator applies the formula: Maximum Offer = (ARV × 70%) - Rehab Costs. This ensures you leave enough margin for profit, holding costs, and unexpected expenses.
