Need help with mortgages, liens, etc

Jack Phillips

So I have a hypothetical situation:

Lets say a properties ARV is $550k,

Repairs are $75k,

And Wholesale Fee is $10k.

Using the mao formula:

$550,000*80%-Repairs-Wholesale Fee = MAO of $355k

When I am making my offer price to the homeowner, how do I include any liens, mortgages, and/or money owed? Do I subtract the the offer price ($355k) by the total amount of money they owe? Or is that not my job and I offer the full $335k to the homeowner, find cash buyer to buy the property, and the cash buyer and title company deal with all that.

Please help, thank you

The seller should be disclosing any liens from the property. In any case, whatever the seller nets minus liens is their business, not yours.

On a sidenote, I would not buy at 80% in todays market.
