Frequently Asked Questions

What is ARV in real estate investing?

ARV stands for After Repair Value — the estimated market value of a property after all planned renovations are complete. It's the most important number in fix and flip analysis because MAO, rehab budget allocation, and profit projections all flow from your ARV estimate.

How do investors calculate ARV?

Find 3-5 comparable sales (comps) of similar renovated properties in the same neighborhood sold within 6 months. Adjust for differences in size, bed/bath count, lot, condition, and location. The adjusted average of your comps is your ARV. For precision, use an agent's CMA or hire an appraiser.

What is a good ARV cushion for a fix and flip?

Buy at 65-70% of ARV all-in (purchase plus rehab). On a $300K ARV property that means your total cost should not exceed $195,000-$210,000. That cushion covers profit margin, selling costs, holding costs, and unexpected overruns.

How do I find comps for ARV estimation?

MLS access through a real estate agent is the gold standard. Zillow and Redfin recently sold filters work for rough estimates. PropStream and BatchLeads provide deeper data including off-market. Always use comps within 0.5 miles, sold within 6 months, similar size, and similar condition post-renovation.

Can I calculate ARV without an agent?

Yes, using public sold data on Zillow, Redfin, or county records. Be conservative — retail agents and appraisers have MLS access you don't. For deal-making purposes, always run your ARV estimate past an experienced investor or agent in that market before committing to a purchase price.

How does ARV differ from appraised value?

ARV is a projection of future value after planned renovation — it's your estimate. Appraised value is a licensed appraiser's opinion of current market value. For refinancing after BRRRR, you need an actual appraisal. For offer-making, your ARV estimate is what drives your numbers.
