Wholesale / MAO calculator — New Mexico
New Mexico investors weigh climate, water, and insurance costs alongside rent. Default rent inputs are based on HUD FMR data—desert markets are not monolithic, so underwrite to the city and property type. Same math as the national Wholesale / MAO calculator; numbers are educational—not lender instructions.
Frequently asked questions
- How do you calculate MAO in wholesale real estate?
- A common baseline is the 70% rule: MAO starts with ARV multiplied by your target percentage, then subtracts repairs, closing costs, holding costs, and assignment fee.
- Can MAO be negative?
- Yes. A negative MAO means the deal does not support your target margin at those assumptions and likely needs a lower purchase price or different terms.
- Can I save wholesale calculator results?
- This calculator does not save your session. Use a free Veld account to save deal assumptions, compare scenarios, and track properties over time.
- How should I set MAO in New Mexico wholesale deals?
- Start from realistic ARV around $370,600 median home prices, then subtract repairs, holding, and transaction costs before assignment fee. Adjust your ARV multiplier for local buyer demand and renovation risk, not a one-size national rule.
