ARV & Maximum Allowable Offer Formulas

ARV=Square Footage×Pcomp/sqft,MAO=(ARV×0.70)Costrepairs\text{ARV} = \text{Square Footage} \times P_{\text{comp/sqft}}, \quad \text{MAO} = (\text{ARV} \times 0.70) - \text{Cost}_{\text{repairs}}

After Repair Value is estimated from post-renovation comparable sales square-footage rates, while Maximum Allowable Offer (MAO) applies the investor 70% safety margin minus required rehab and renovation costs.
