Common situation. Orange County owners begin renovations, run out of money or motivation, and stop mid-project.

Many of our flips start from these abandoned projects.
Our offers in Orange County, California typically equal estimated after-repair value (ARV) minus repair costs minus our profit margin (typically 20-25%) minus closing/holding costs. For a $300k ARV home needing $60k in repairs, offer would be roughly $300k - $60k - $60k = $180k. We'll show you the math transparently.
Cosmetic-only properties (dated kitchen, old carpet, ugly paint) are easier — repair budgets are smaller, so offers are higher. Orange County homes needing only cosmetic refresh might command 80-85% of after-repair value, while structurally damaged properties run 60-70%. Better condition = better offer, but we buy at any condition tier.
