Get a defensible ARV before you make an offer. Freddie analyzes your property details and comps to estimate after repair value in seconds.
Dan White, 20-year fix-and-flip veteran in Northern Virginia, used FreeDealCalc to analyze a $130,000 wholetail opportunity in under 5 minutes. No spreadsheet. No paid software. Just Freddie.


"I've been flipping houses for 20 years and I built this tool because nothing free was actually good enough. Freddie does what I used to do with spreadsheets — but in seconds, for free, for every investor who needs it."
A buyer who purchases this property as a wholetail deal undertakes all renovation work at their own direction, cost, and risk. The seller makes no representations regarding property condition and all sales are as-is. Buyer is responsible for all due diligence, inspections, and compliance with local codes and regulations.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
