.- Adjusted Purchase Price/ Max Bid: $210,840.80- I start with the 1% rule (thus why I start the analysis by looking at rent) and then adjust the price based on the potential pay-out from a cash-out refi and equity position on the property- more on this in a second. - Potential Investor payout (15%): $242,466 - Rehab total: $76,480.00- I just used $40/ sqft for an estimate.

Just started playing around with it a bit...Wish their interface was a bit more intuitive or user friendly.

And they will look at things like mortgages, insurance policies, bank accounts, personal social media posts that may talk about the house, utility bills, leases signed by you personally, etc in an attempt to pierce the corporate veil.
