Wholesale Deal Analyzer

Found a property? Don't guess — run the full workup. This checks the asking price against what a cash buyer will actually pay, subtracts every cost, protects your assignment fee, and gives you a straight verdict.

1. The property's value After-repair value — ARV ($)

Fixed-up value from sold comparables, not list prices.

2. The asking price Seller's asking price ($)

3. Repair estimate Cost to fix it up ($)

Add 20% contingency to your own estimate — beginners underbid repairs.

4. Your fee Assignment fee you want ($)

5. The costs everyone forgets Closing costs (% of price) Months you'll hold the contract Holding cost per month — taxes, insurance, utilities ($)

6. Investor discount

Profit room on this deal

Estimates, not advice. This analyzer applies standard wholesaling math for planning purposes. It is not financial advice. Verify ARV with real comparables, confirm repairs with a contractor, and know your state's rules on wholesaling and contract assignment before you sign anything.

How the analyzer judges a deal

It runs the buyer's math first: (ARV × 70%) − repairs is the most a cash buyer will pay. Then it subtracts everything on your side — the asking price, closing costs, holding costs for the months you carry the contract, and your assignment fee. What's left is the profit room: the cushion remaining after the buyer, the costs, and you are all paid. Your fee is subtracted before the verdict, so a "strong deal" means you get paid, not just the buyer. At $10,000 or more of room, the deal is strong. Between zero and $10,000, it's thin — negotiate the price down. Below zero, the price is wrong, not the property: the analyzer tells you the maximum you can pay and still keep your fee whole.

One honest footnote: the maximum-purchase figure is approximate. Closing costs are a percentage, and the analyzer estimates them from the asking price you entered — at the true maximum price they'd be a touch lower. Treat the figure as a target to negotiate toward, not a quote.

5 numbers that make or break the analysis

Honest ARV. Sold comparables only — similar homes, half a mile, last six months. One inflated comp poisons the whole analysis.
Repairs + 20%. The contingency isn't pessimism; it's the industry's experience with hidden damage.
Real holding time. Most beginners assume 30 days. Plan for 3–6 months of taxes, insurance, and utilities.
Closing costs. Title, escrow, and transfer costs run 1–3% even on wholesale deals — they come out of the spread.
Your fee, protected. The analyzer subtracts your fee before judging the deal, so a "strong deal" verdict means you get paid, not just the buyer.

Your deal, next steps

Got your verdict? Here's what to do with it — in order:

Strong deal? Lock it up. Get it under contract with an assignment clause, then take it to your buyers list.
Thin deal? Renegotiate. Show the seller the repair math — most price drops come from documented repair costs, not pressure.
Need more deals? One analyzed deal is a hobby; a pipeline is a business. Curated wholesale lead lists are coming to this hub — and our AI lead agent and appointment setter can work your seller follow-up around the clock.

Deal analysis questions, answered

How do you analyze a wholesale real estate deal?

Apply the investor's discount to the ARV, subtract repairs to find what a cash buyer will pay, then subtract the asking price, closing costs, holding costs, and your fee. Positive profit room means the deal works.

What is a good profit margin on a wholesale deal?

At least $10,000 of profit room on a typical single-family deal — your fee plus a safety buffer. Under $5,000 of room, one surprise wipes you out.

What costs do wholesalers forget to include?

Closing costs (1–3%), holding costs over the months you carry the contract, and earnest money. Repair underestimates are the most common deal-killer.

What does "no deal at this price" mean?

The price is wrong, not the property. Renegotiate toward the approximate max purchase price shown above, or move on to the next lead.
