Maximum Allowable Offer

Maximum Allowable Offer (MAO) is your estimated purchase-price ceiling. Calculate it before making an offer to leave room for repairs, other costs, and profit.

Faint numbers are examples only. Enter your own figures. The percentage defaults are editable assumptions, not market recommendations.

Compare your discount factors

Leave room in each factor for holding, financing, selling costs, contingency, and profit. Repairs and the assignment / margin fee are subtracted separately.

MAO = after-repair value × discount factor − rehabilitation budget − assignment / margin fee.
