Your free real estate deal analyzer shows its work
Nearby sold homes, with sources you can check.
A range for the property's after repair value (ARV).
Three repair levels, from a lighter update to a major renovation.
A maximum allowable offer using 70% of estimated ARV, minus estimated repairs.
A clear flag when reliable sold-home data is thin.
See the numbers behind the property:
Follow the sources. Compare the repair scenarios. See what deserves a closer look.
Start with the address. See the moving parts.
Enter the property address. Get nearby sold-home comparisons, an estimated fixed-up value range, repair scenarios and an offer calculation.
Have walkthrough notes or a contractor's repair estimate? Add them to give the analysis property-specific information.
Now you have the sold homes, repair assumptions and offer math to work through, instead of just an asking price to stare at.
See exactly how the offer number takes shape
The kit's maximum allowable offer calculator uses a straightforward formula:
Estimated fixed-up value × 70% − estimated repairs.
This 70% rule calculator puts the starting math in front of you. Check the value against comparable sold homes and the repair estimate against the property's condition. You can trace the offer calculation back to its inputs.
Turn missing information into your next questions
Which sold homes actually compare? What condition is the property in? What does the repair scope include?
Use the source links to check the sales. Add your observations and contractor numbers to sharpen the repair inputs. When reliable sold-home data is thin, the analyzer flags it so you know where to investigate next.
