MAO (Maximum Allowable Offer) is a key formula used by real estate investors to calculate the highest price they can offer on a deal while still making a profit. By factoring in repair costs, fees, and margins, this tool helps investors stay disciplined, reduce risk, and make smarter, faster decisions. Whether you’re wholesaling, flipping, or buying rentals, the MAO Calculator keeps your offers strategic and profitable.
