@ J Scott . Thank You, I agree, when I began to run figures it seemed the MPP calculation was just more reliable with a realistic snap shot of the bottom line. Then once you've allotted all cost, negotiating from that number with the seller made sense.

I am wondering how these 2 favor for new & seasoned investors. I personally like the MPP calculations because it seems as if you are allotting for  majority cost involved in a flip.... repairs, profit, holding & closing cost. However, I hear a lot of advice for new investors to use the .70% rule. 

I'm just curious to know which others are using and how it has worked for them. 

- Thanks

Toshia

I agree to find out the condition of the estate. Sometimes estates can carry debt. if the numbers work and the seller is motivated go for it!
