In this short segment of "The Deal Room," Tommy Dobczyk outlines a prospective wholesale transaction for a half‑acre parcel. He proposes acquiring the land for roughly $80,000 and wants to verify whether that price is realistic based on comparable sales in the area. Tommy emphasizes identifying one or two highest‑and‑best‑use (HBU) scenarios for the property, then calculating the after‑repair value (ARV) from those comps. His wholesale strategy is to purchase the land at only 10‑15% of the ARV, meaning the eventual sale price of the land should reflect that margin. He asks for concrete comps or ARV data to confirm the feasibility of the deal and to set an appropriate sale price.
