Wholesale / MAO calculatorVirginia

Virginia spans expensive Northern Virginia corridors and smaller cash-flow markets. Default rent inputs are drawn from HUD FMR data—use location-specific rent and tax inputs rather than one-size assumptions. 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 Virginia wholesale deals?
Start from realistic ARV around $457,500 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.
