Wholesale goods are sold at less than retail price.

When calculating an ERC (estimated repair costs) for a given subject property should the wholesaler provide an ERC for both Retail Flip AND rental?

Retail buyers certainly do not want to live next to or near board up homes or trashed homes.

When you're trying to determine ARV when fix and flipping or wholesaling to fix and flippers, you're trying to estimate the price the property will eventually bring in a retail sale.

Don't forget that you can always sell retail first and "cut the price" if you need to send it to a rehab buyer.

Retail type contractors, like a homeowner would hire, would be well over $100K.

If I had to guess, it's because that comp is in a dilapidated state and not indicative of fixed up "retail" value.

I am a registered architect in Massachusetts and has experience in high-end residential and office construction in NYC, and currently doing freelance design build retail projects in Stamford, CT.I want to be a real estate developer/ investor, and without knowing about this great site, I went to NYU to study real estate development and finance (master's).

I sign contracts with a auto dealer to purchase 100 cars at $25,000 a piece, which would otherwise retail for $30,000.
