Ventra's analyzer estimates ARV, MAO, repair range, and offer bands, then produces an AI deal grade, red flags, and next best actions — with the boundary between what's estimated and what needs verification stated in plain English.
What the analyzer outputs
Every analyzer result carries the same set of numbers a wholesaler runs through their head on any property. Ventra just makes them explicit and shows the assumptions behind each one.
Weighted from CMA comps when available. Fallback heuristic when comps are thin, with an explicit confidence label so the user knows how much to trust the number.
ARV × 0.70 − repair estimate − assignment fee. Shown as a ceiling, not a recommended opener. Bands for conservative, balanced, and max offer.
70–75% of the current list price. A separate, simpler view for the wholesaler who wants to move on price before ARV/comps are dialed in.
ARV − repairs − (list + assignment fee). Signed — a negative buyer spread means the cash-buyer math doesn't work and the analyzer says so.
A-F grade plus a High/Medium/Low confidence chip. A deal can be A-grade AND Low confidence — the interface shows both.
Structured warnings and 2–4 templated actions keyed to the weakest signals — verify comps, start conservative, pass unless motivation shows.
Guardrails
The analyzer is deliberately conservative in the places that matter. When ARV confidence is Very Low or the CMA detects an extreme ARV-to-list spread, the grade is capped at C regardless of how the raw math looks — those cases have a known bias risk and the interface refuses to pretend otherwise. When buyer spread is negative, the grade is capped at D. Nothing shipped from the analyzer uses phrases like "guaranteed", "will make money", or "certified offer".
Ventra does not provide legal, financial, brokerage, or investment advice. Every output is an estimate based on available data.
Where the analyzer lives
The dedicated analyzer takes a manual property + numbers and returns the full breakdown. The same scoring engine also runs on every listing that comes back from a search, so users don't have to re-analyze one at a time — cards show the grade, the offer bands, and the wholesaler take right in the search view.
FAQ
A wholesale deal analyzer takes a property's list price, estimated ARV, and repair budget and computes the wholesaler-relevant math: MAO under the 70% rule, buyer spread, assignment-fee headroom, and a range of offer prices. Ventra's analyzer also produces an AI deal grade, structured red flags, and next best actions.
When comparable sold properties are available, Ventra computes a weighted-average price-per-square-foot from those comps, trims outliers, and multiplies by the subject's square footage. When comps are thin, Ventra falls back to a heuristic based on list price and is transparent that confidence is low — the interface labels ARV confidence as High, Medium, Low, or Very Low.
MAO — Maximum Allowable Offer — is the ceiling a wholesaler should not offer above if the numbers are supposed to work for an end-buyer investor. Ventra uses the standard 70% rule: MAO = ARV × 0.70 − repair estimate − assignment fee. MAO is a ceiling, not a recommended opener.
Buyer spread is the margin left over for a cash buyer after paying for the property and the repair scope, at ARV. Ventra computes it as ARV − repairs − (list price + assignment fee). If buyer spread is thin or negative, the assignment usually doesn't work regardless of how the wholesaler feels about the deal.
A letter grade (A–F) derived from ARV reliability, list-vs-ARV sanity, buyer spread, MAO discount, seller motivation, comp confidence, and data quality. Hard caps prevent an A or B when ARV confidence is Very Low, comps are unreliable, or buyer spread is negative. The grade is a scanner — not a signal to buy.
Comps within 0.5–1 mile from the last 6 months, condition and repair scope in person, title and liens through public records or a title professional, occupancy, seller motivation signals, and local wholesaling and licensing law. Ventra's outputs are estimates based on available data.
