Exact formula

Offer = remaining project dollars / (1 + purchase closing rate)

Remaining project dollars equal net resale proceeds minus rehab, contingency, holding, financing and target profit. Selling costs use ARV; purchase closing costs use the offer.

Reality check

ARV and rehab can break the answer

Use sold comps and written contractor scopes. Wholesale asking prices, future appreciation and a rough cost-per-square-foot guess are not defendable inputs.
