They don't understand the math behind any type of financial formula, so they have no idea how to make adjustments to it that allow the deal to work in their favor.I think a big part of this is the generation we live in/with, that is looking for instant gratification. 

Your locality may change the math for you.

See what they're charging and then do the math to see if it makes sense for your situation.

If you want to make it easier to do in your head, this same calculation is basically sf * 2.2.Area * 3.5 / 48 * 30$ = Area * 2.2Same math, but much easier to simply double sq ft and add 10% in your head for cost.

That's when I learned what the math in wholesale acquisition is.

Your doing the math wrong....

My agent is showing the ropes on the math from purchase price to the ARV and the difference of the cost in between and also I have a friend who’s a millionaire who does fix and flips mentoring me the way as well.

I take this info, will browse the mls and quickly can do some back of napkin math to see if the potential property will pencil out using this approx rent and approx mortgage and service payments.

I know that is not a long term solution, but at least look at the math.

I'm not sure I follow your math...
