Hi everyone,

I have been more focused on rental properties vs. flipping but my wife would like to flip and I have a construction background so it make sense for extra money to put into rentals.

The question I have is when do my calculation I am finding the flip calculator gives me one number and the 70% rule a very different number.  I know the 70% rule is a "rule of thumb" but I want to make sure I am not missing anything.

For example:

ARV: 255k

Repairs: 20k

So MOA = 255k x .7 - 20k = MOA of 158,500

However the BP calculator says 195k is the MOA whichlooks like this:

What am I missing?  Why are they different?
