What does "cents on the dollar" mean?
I'm hoping this isnt a stupid question but what does a wholesaler mean when they say you need to buy "so and so" cents on the dollar? How do I estimate that? How do I figure out my equity range and or potential profit from a sale price and ARV? Is there a simple math equation I can follow

Cents on the dollar or pennies on the dollar is simply a discount.
You want to buy at minimum 65-70% ARV minis the repair costs. This will leave you a 20-25% profit after other expenses.
