How the 70% Rule Works
MAO = (ARV × 70%) - Repair Costs - Fees
The 70% rule is a quick way to determine the maximum price you should pay for a flip property. It ensures you leave enough room for profit after accounting for repairs, holding costs, and selling costs.
Why 70%?
- ~10% for buying costs (closing costs, inspections)
- ~10% for selling costs (agent commissions, closing costs)
- ~10% for profit margin
More conservative investors use 65% or even 60% to account for unexpected costs and market fluctuations.
