3️⃣ The Darren Offer Calculator — How Cash Offers Are Calculated

A real cash offer is not just a random number. It is based on resale value, repairs, holding costs, selling costs, risk, and the ability to actually close.

ARV − Repairs − Holding + Selling − Risk = Cash Offer

🏠 ARV

After-repair value based on nearby sold comps, size, condition, upgrades, and market demand.

🛠️ Repairs

Roof, HVAC, flooring, electrical, plumbing, foundation, kitchen, bath, paint, cleanup, and code issues.

⏳ Holding + Selling

Taxes, insurance, utilities, maintenance, resale commissions, escrow, title, and renovation time.

⚠️ Risk Buffer

Hidden repairs, market shifts, tenant issues, code violations, delays, or unknown property problems.

✅ Final Written Offer

Clear price. Clear terms. Clear closing timeline. No inflated fake offer that falls apart later.

Want to Compare Your Real Net Number?

Before spending money on repairs, commissions, cleaning, or months of holding costs, compare what you may actually net with a traditional sale versus a simple as-is cash sale.
