BiggerPockets states the [70% rule](https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/2014-02-14-70-rule-bible) as paying no more than 70 percent of the after-repair value, minus repairs. Its example is a $150,000 house needing $20,000 of work. Seventy percent of $150,000 is $105,000, and subtracting the repairs leaves a maximum of $85,000.

PropertyRadar's Estimated Value minus its Estimated Equity gives a modeled figure for open loans. It isn't a verified payoff, and other liens, back taxes and closing costs all move the real number. So this check only routes records. A house with $40,000 in modeled loans against an $85,000 maximum goes forward.

Under this policy, owners without an event who carry a high modeled score, such as PropertyRadar's Likely to List for Sale, get mail first. Owners with a lower score or none wait. Size the call group to what you can dial in a week, and buy phone numbers only for that group. Five quick checks decide which group a record lands in: your buy box, the current owner, the rough economics, the dated event and whether you can reach the owner. Treat this as a starting order and let your own results change it.","url":"https://www.answerstack.io/q/prioritize-off-market-property-list-before-outreach","upvoteCount":0,"datePublished":"2026-06-17T14:45:00","dateModified":"2026-10-09T21:34:35.607","author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"AnswerStack","url":"https://www.answerstack.io/contributors/answer-stack"},"citation":[]}}}
