Get the numbers you need to make a smart offer on your next piece of property using our MAO Calculator.

Seasoned investors know the importance of calculating the numbers on any real estate transaction. Because profitability in any real estate deal is to the key to success.

To achieve this profitability, you’ll need to locate great properties with great earning potential.

And do a little math.

This will tell you if your next investment opportunity is a dud or dynamite!

Some things that every investor needs to understand, include:

• The value of the property in its current condition.
• The level of rehab needed—does it need a little or a lot?
• The square footage of property.
• The After Repair Value (ARV)—after you do the repairs, what will the property be worth?

These numbers together will allow you to calculate your Maximum Allowable Offer (MAO) using the MAO calculator app.

You can do the math yourself, but why not make things easy for yourself and use our MAO Calculator. Find out today if that next investment property is a money maker!
