If you don't, you're almost guaranteed to fail miserably.

(How miserable?) 

We did almost all the work ourselves and and had some miserable living conditions.

This is where wholesalers typically fail miserably, they don't know these numbers, therefore they make the wrong offers (offer too high) and then when they try to sell them to a rehabber and guess at it, they fudge the ARV and rehab.

Dont get me wrong, my job is far from miserable, in fact I enjoy it a lot.
