But, fall back a bit and talk with your bankers and tell them the exact situation and see if those funds can be allocated for that transaction - which is wishful thinking but worth the ask - but also search for and line up another deal where those funds can be applied.

Typically 64% lands me where i need to be. assuming a 20k repair & contingency budget us adequate;230k x .7 = $161k - 20k repairs = $141k max purchase price of an investor. me personally I would be looking more along the lines of the following;230k x.64 = $147k - 20k repairs = $127k max purchase price. dont forget to leave room for negotiations when that those end buyers start coming along with standard 5% below asking price offers. dont fall in love with the deal. you need to understand why the above numbers are the way they are. this seems like a so so deal and that's assuming the 20k budget is adequate with the needed contingency, and throw a whole seller fee into it and it might be something to pass on. break out every cost and you will see how the 70% rule works regarding capital gains, purchase and selling costs for realtor percentages, holding costs, interest on money, prorated taxes, utilities, etc... remember, investors have to pay short term capital gains which is typically over 25%. it may seem like a big chunk of money using those formulas but in reality it isnt.
