Repair cost is one of the hardest numbers to estimate quickly in a wholesale deal — get it wrong and your MAO is off. Offr AI's photo-based rehab estimator gives you an itemized starting point in minutes instead of waiting for a contractor visit.
What it does
- Analyzes available property photos (from listings, MLS, or your own uploads)
- Produces an itemized repair list (roof, kitchen, bath, flooring, systems, etc.)
- Gives a low/high cost range per item and in total
- Flags severity (cosmetic vs. structural/major) and calls out potential red flags like signs of water damage or foundation issues
How it works, step by step
- Photos of the subject property are pulled from the listing or uploaded.
- The AI scans images for visible condition issues by area of the home.
- Each identified issue is categorized and assigned a low/high cost range.
- Severity and red flags are surfaced so you know what needs a specialist's eyes.
- The total rehab range feeds into the ARV and MAO calculation.
Inputs and outputs
| Input | Output |

| Property photos | Itemized repair list with low/high cost |
| Visible condition issues | Severity rating and red flags |
| Total rehab range | Feeds into MAO calculation |
Accuracy expectations and limits
Photo-based estimates can only assess what's visible in the images provided — they cannot see behind walls, under flooring, inside plumbing/electrical systems, or assess foundation issues that aren't visually apparent. Poor-quality or limited photos will reduce accuracy. Treat every estimate as a starting range for negotiation and budgeting, and get a licensed contractor's in-person estimate before finalizing your numbers on any deal you intend to close.
Who it's for
Wholesalers and investors who need a quick rehab ballpark to decide whether a lead is worth pursuing, and to have a number ready when negotiating with sellers or buyers before a full contractor bid is available.
Use it alongside ARV estimation and full deal analysis in the app. See pricing for plan options.
