Podcast #449: Revealed: Why Rookies Keep Losing Creative Real Estate Deals!

In this week's bombshell episode, we are going to expose the silent wealth-killer that forces rookies to walk away from deals that could have changed their financial future forever. After listening today you will soon realize that most rookies are literally one conversation away from getting sellers to say ‘yes’ to their proposed offer(s) given. But instead are making critical mistakes that actually repel deals without even knowing it. In fact, this strategy isn't new, or even complicated. But it's being completely overlooked by 99% of all offers given to sellers. Learn what the “deal-trigger” is, and why it is so important to see and to use it for every transaction. What makes this episode particularly powerful is how we not only explain every detail you need to know. But also the step-by-step process you need to start closing more deals in less time and effort. This single 60-minutes could be the most powerful framework for closing deals to date. This exact methodology is what helped Bill and his private coaching clients to execute hundreds of deals.

🎯 The MAO Formula – Your Secret Scaling Weapon

Your Maximum Allowable Offer (MAO) formula is your anchor in the storm. Whether you're negotiating a distressed property or a pretty house, this equation keeps emotions out and profits in.

Here’s the breakdown:

MAO = ARV (Afeter Reno Value) X 70% - Repair Cost - $5K (Wholesale Fee)

Let’s say:

• ARV = $200,000

• Repairs = $30,000

• Wholesale Fee = $5,000

MAO = ($200K x 0.70) – $30K – $5K = $105,000

Boom. That’s your ceiling.

📐 The No-Guess Renovation Cheat Sheet

No more fumbling around on-site or Googling what a roof replacement costs. Use this handy per-square-foot rule of thumb:

• $10/sq ft: Minor cosmetics

• $15/sq ft: $10/sq ft + Light exterior and fixtures

• $20/sq ft: $15/sq ft + Paint + flooring

• $25/sq ft: $20/sq ft + Kitchen or bath

• $30/sq ft: $25/sq ft + Kitchen and bath

• $35/sq ft: $30/sq ft + Roof or HVAC

• $40/sq ft: Full gut renovation

💡 Example: 1,000 sq ft with moderate work? You’re looking at around $25K–$30K. Use this to plug into your MAO and keep your margins tight.

📲 Deal Flow Process – It All Starts with a Text

Think you need a team of cold callers? Think again. Here’s our simple 4-step flow to find and close deals:

1. The Initial Text
   A low-pressure message to see if a seller’s open to talking.

2. The Opening Call
   You listen. You ask. You learn motivation. No pitching. Just rapport.

3. The Closing Call
   Here, you use the MAO formula to frame your offer. You’re not selling—you’re solving.

4. The Deal Meeting
   Face-to-face only after you’ve got signed docs. Protect your time, always.

🧠 Pro Tip: Use MAO on Pretty Houses Too

“But Bill, what if the house doesn’t need repairs?”

Great! That means repair cost = zero. But we still use the 70% rule.

Why? Because no house is perfect. There’s always inspection curveballs, closing costs, holding time, or market shifts. Your MAO becomes your built-in safety net.

Even on turnkey properties, the numbers must work. Period.

🤔 Scaling = Systems + Structure

Let’s zoom out.

Scaling isn’t just about “more houses.” It’s about having:

✅ A repeatable evaluation formula (MAO)
✅ A predictable deal funnel (text → call → offer → close)
✅ Confidence in your repair numbers
✅ Emotional detachment when offers get rejected (trust the numbers, not the noise)

Once you dial that in? You’re not guessing anymore. You’re executing.
