# Maximum Purchase Price Formula

## What Is The Maximum Purchase Price Formula?

The Maximum Purchase Price formula is used to calculate the Maximum Purchase Price you should offer for a property.  The formula uses a detailed analysis of all of the project costs including your Repair Costs, Buying Costs, Holding Costs, Selling Costs, & Financing Costs.

The Maximum Purchase Price formula is the most accurate calculation, because it requires you to think about, consider & calculate every single project cost on the project.

## When Should I Use The Max Purchase Price Formula Vs The 70% Rule Formula?

The 70% Rule Formula should be used to initially quickly analyze the validity of a deal to see if you should spend more time to fully evaluate the property using the Maximum Purchase Price formula.

If the deal meets your 70% Rule criteria, you can perform a full Maximum Purchase Price analysis to determine the actual purchase price you should offer for the property.
