OAKLAND, Calif. - TelAve -- JiT Home Buyers, a multi-state real estate investment company that purchases residential properties as-is, is providing insight into a widely used industry guideline known as the 70% rule, a formula commonly used by real estate investors when evaluating properties that may require repairs or renovation.

As more homeowners explore alternatives to traditional real estate listings, questions often arise about how investors determine whether a property is a good candidate for purchase. The 70% rule is one of the most commonly referenced guidelines within the residential investment industry.

The rule is designed to help investors estimate how much they may be able to pay for a property that requires repairs. In simple terms, the guideline suggests that an investor may aim to purchase a property for roughly 70 percent of its estimated after-repair value (ARV), minus the cost of necessary renovations.

For example, if a home is expected to be worth $300,000 after repairs are completed and the renovation costs are estimated at $50,000, an investor applying the 70% rule may calculate the potential purchase price as follows:

70% of $300,000 = $210,000
$210,000 minus $50,000 in repairs = $160,000 potential purchase range

This guideline helps investors account for renovation expenses, holding costs, financing costs, and market risk associated with improving a property.

"The 70% rule is a general framework used throughout the investment community to help manage risk," said a representative from JiT Home Buyers. "It allows investors to estimate whether a renovation project is financially feasible before moving forward."

While the formula is commonly referenced in the industry, experienced investors often adjust the percentage depending on market conditions, renovation complexity, and local housing demand.

JiT Home Buyers works with homeowners across multiple U.S. housing markets who may be managing inherited homes, vacant properties, relocation, financial transitions, or houses requiring repairs. The company notes that property evaluation guidelines such as the 70% rule are simply one of several tools investors use when reviewing potential acquisitions.
