How to Estimate ARV (After Repair Value) in 3 Steps

You’ll need to estimate ARV/calculate ARV (after repair value) quite frequently as a rookie real estate investor. Every flip, BRRRR, or wholesale deal you do will require this key number, but how do you find it? You don’t want to be paying contractors, agents, or appraisers every time you analyze a deal, do you?

Tony J. Robinson, host of the Real Estate Rookie Podcast, is here to share the 3 simple steps to estimating ARV. You don’t have to be an expert in construction or appraising to do so, but you will need to spend some time looking at comparable properties, rehab options, and neighborhoods to find an ARV that will accurately project a sales/appraisal price. If you can get a solid grasp of calculating ARV, you’ll have a huge advantage on finding homes with massive value-add potential!

I enjoyed this video so much I watched it twice. Plan on watching a third time and this time without any notetaking and noisy children in the background (wish me luck!). But this video is very informative and is making me quite comfortable to begin wholesaling so I can jump into the BRRRR method.

Good video, very clear presentation. Would have liked you to do an example calculation to follow along as this is the first time I have heard the ARV being calculated this way.
