Novation Calculators
How To Use Novation Calculator
Guide to Using the Ultimate Novation Offer Calculator
The Ultimate Novation Offer Calculator helps you calculate two key metrics for novation deals:
- ACCESS MAO (MLS): The Maximum Allowable Offer for deals where you have property access and plan to list on the MLS.
- NO ACCESS MAO (Wholesale or Wholetail): The Maximum Allowable Offer for deals where you don’t have property access and plan to sell off-market.
Follow the steps below to effectively use the calculator:
Step 1: Input the As-Is Market Value
Enter the As-Is Market Value of the property. This is the estimated value of the property in its current condition before repairs.
- Example: $315,000
Step 2: Adjust the Percent of Market Value
Use the slider to set the percentage of the market value you expect to sell the property for.
- Default: 95%
- Example: If the property will sell for 95% of its market value, leave the slider as is.
Step 3: Customize the Realtor Fee and Double Close Fee
Realtor Fee
Input the Realtor Fee percentage based on your agreement with the agent (default: 3%).
- This fee is calculated on the As-Is Market Value.
- Example: For a $315,000 property and a 3% Realtor Fee, the fee is $9,450.
Double Close Fee
Input the percentage for the double-close fee (default: 0.75%).
- This fee is also calculated on the As-Is Market Value.
- Example: For a $315,000 property and a 0.75% fee, the cost is $2,362.50.

- Interest Formula:
Loan Amount x Interest Rate x (Months Held / 12) - Example: $0 (if paid in cash).
Step 7: Enter Desired Profit
Input your target profit for both scenarios:
- Desired Profit (Access): Profit you want for MLS deals (e.g., $30,000).
- Desired Profit (No Access): Profit you want for wholesale or off-market deals (e.g., $35,000).
Step 8: Click “Calculate ACCESS & NO ACCESS MAO”
Hit the Calculate button to see the results for:
ACCESS MAO (MLS): Calculated as:
((As-Is Market Value × Percent of Market Value) - Total Costs - Desired Profit (Access))NO ACCESS MAO (Wholesale or Wholetail): Calculated as:
((As-Is Market Value × Percent of Market Value) - Total Costs - Desired Profit (No Access) - Interest Costs)
