@Brian SinclairI don't know if it fits this low-priced deal is a good fit butI like joint ventures with sellers where 70% of ARV is just too low, so the seller always rejects itSo on alternative is to do a joint venture with the seller, give a note with no payments for four months, now you're on title, you fix it, then resell it, and pay off their note when it resellsExample, $200,000 house, 20,000 in repairs, 70% of ARV minus repairs is 120,000 net to sellerFor the joint venture, figure 10% for resale costs or $20,000, add in $20,000 repair bill, add in $2000 in private lender interest, and a joint venture fee of $10,000 for the real estate investorThis is a better result for the seller, netting the seller $148,000

As in, how do I know that the seller is not simply making it up on Excel and printing it?

Finally, use all these numbers, including purchase price, repairs, rental income, expenses, and sales price or cash out refi after X number of years (you can play with these parameters) and calculate IRR on the series (can use the excel function to do this) ... this is your total return, over the life of the investment, including ALL sources of profit.
