Maximum allowable offer in Real estate wholesaling
Why is it that sometimes after I have done my numbers my maximum allowable offer is way above the asking price?

Hi @Jacques Edouard Dessejour Lapierre, this could be for a number of reasons.
- You could be off in your calculations of value
- You could be off in your estimation of rehab costs
- The listing agent, seller, or both could be off about either of the above.
In the case of the first two, there's good news! You're in a place filled with excellent people who know how to do these two really well, In the event that the third option is the reality then; good news! You can snatch these up and have awesome built in equity. The balance of probability says #1&2 are more likely :)
