Figure your offer like this:Sales comps in area (base on same style/size/type of house)Subtract:Profit (start with that, if you don't make a profit why bother)Rehab (based on a bid...not guessing)Cost of money (financing, etc...)Holding costsCommissionsWhat you have left is what you offer and no more.
