I know I haven't given a whole ton of details here and you haven't seen the property... but I'm curious to hear anyone's advice on what to do when a deal is close but not a deal quite yet. 

But it does seem like they "forget" to include details like LABOR when they calculate costs, lol.  

I'd be curious to hear more details if you're willing to share, as my area of focus is cabins in the mountains in Washington State.

So unless you can find out what exactly the details are that they have planned for your property then you really dont have a secret weapon.

PM me for more details

Consider the tone of my first post way off-mark, that little 203k detail makes aaaall the difference. :)

However you have not provided sufficient details.

Thank you again for details. 

Not enough details here to fully evaluate.  

My reading and a fellow investor taught me that it starts with understanding the 70% Rule which is a quick rule of thumb that can be used to quickly analyze a rehab deal or wholesale deal by applying a 30% discount to the ARV (less repairs).70% Rule FormulaQuick analysis assumes profit and fixed cost will make up 30% of ARV(ARV * 70%) - Repairs = Rehabber’s MPPDetailed analysis breaks the 15% into a detailed itemized list...ARV - Repairs - Purchase Costs - Holding Costs - Selling Costs - Profit = Rehabber’s MPPThen, in order to determine Wholesalers Maximum Allowable Offer you would use the following formula:MAO = Rehabber's MPP - Wholesale ProfitWhat I need to be able to do is use the Max Purchase Price formula (detailed analysis) in order to calculate a more accurate MPP.
