Why It Matters

ARV determines whether a value-add deal is worth pursuing. Hard money lenders typically lend 65–75% of ARV, so an accurate ARV is essential for financing. Overestimating ARV is the #1 cause of failed flips. Always use conservative comps and get multiple opinions before committing to a renovation project.

Detailed Explanation

After-Repair Value (ARV) is the estimated market value of the property after completing all planned renovations and improvements. It is a critical input for fix-and-flip analysis, BRRRR strategy evaluation, and hard money lending. ARV is determined by analyzing comparable sales of recently renovated properties in the same area. The spread between purchase price (plus rehab costs) and ARV represents your potential profit margin.
