Hi Vincent,A fair finder’s fee or "kickback" for an off-market deal typically ranges between 1-3% of the purchase price, depending on the complexity and value of the deal.

From that information I would think the best you can do is get a range of the ARV (say $150-$170k) and I would make sure you numbers work no matter whether the actual value falls within the range.

This should be sufficient to exclude the $2600 termination fee from your DTI, as it confirms the lease obligation is ending.Best regards,Drago
