@Sarah Ziehr I am trying to be an "other investor" -- can you give me a formula to get that in with a local bank?

What hurts Investors that use this formula is it does not account for Holding Costs, Backend Selling Costs, etc.I use the following formula to determine my Maximum Allowable Offer (MAO).

Hi All,When selling Commercial property, is there a formula used to ensure one has the property listed at the correct price?

In essence I'm trying to somehow develop a formula that does the 2% rule backwards.  

I use the 70 percent for normal properties, but what's the formula for rental properties?

@James Bitakis for flips you should use the 70% rule; see link and formula below.  

Ideally this is what you would be paying the for house you're looking at (Fix/Flip strategy in the heart of the nation [not CA or NY])Using purchase price and working the formula a different way;($126k Purchase price + $5k repairs) / $150k($131k / $150k) is showing an entry point of 87.3% of ARV.

And then, once signed, you still have to do whatever work is necessary to monetize the opportunity.Great oaydays tracking hard to find people but it's only part of the success formula.
