Here it is:20% for profit10% for sales costs like holding cost (2-3%), real estate commissions (5-6%) and closing costs (1-2%)total: 30%Deduct from 100% and viola - there's the basis of your 70% rule.For houses below $70K, your expenses like closing costs specially in expensive states like IL, can eat up a higher percentage of the ARV/ sales price.

How much time do you have to do the free or inexpensive stuff?

I’ve only been using them for about 6 months but in that time frame have no major complaints.Best of luck!
