Real Estate Wholesaling Software: Calculate MAO Easily

Calculating the Maximum Allowable Offer (MAO) is a crucial step in real estate wholesaling, ensuring you make informed offers that align with your investment strategy. SCOUTRE, a comprehensive real estate wholesaling software, streamlines this process by integrating key calculations and analysis into a single platform.

Understanding the MAO Calculation

MAO is the highest price you can offer on a property while still achieving your desired profit margin. SCOUTRE assists in calculating this by considering the After Repair Value (ARV), estimated repair costs, and other factors like seller motivation and exit strategies.

Key Workflow Steps

  • ARV Calculation: SCOUTRE provides an estimated ARV based on comparable property data. Note that these values are estimates and not guaranteed sale prices.
  • Repair Costs: Input estimated repair costs to adjust your offer accordingly.
  • Motivation and Strategy: Assess seller motivation and choose from six exit strategies, including wholesale assignment and fix and flip.
  • Offer and Verdict: SCOUTRE calculates the true MAO, opening offer, ceiling, and provides a verdict on the deal.

Practical Outcomes and Benefits

SCOUTRE's deal analysis flow results in a comprehensive understanding of potential deals. Users can generate a PDF report summarizing the analysis, which is invaluable for decision-making and record-keeping.

With SCOUTRE, there's no need to juggle multiple tools for comps, calculations, and follow-ups. The app supports unlimited property lookups, skip traces, and lead management, all within one plan. This integration helps newer wholesalers avoid the monthly bleed of paying for separate tools.
