Property fundamentals
ARV (After-Repair Value)
What the property would sell for once rehab is complete. The most important — and most-mis-estimated — input in any BRRRR or flip.
Example
A $80,000 distressed property with $30,000 of rehab and an ARV of $150,000 has equity creation of $40,000 ($150k − $80k − $30k).
Why ARV (After-Repair Value) matters
ARV is a high-sensitivity assumption in BRRRR and flip plans. Build it from relevant closed comps and test multiple downside values; there is no reliable market-wide appraisal haircut that substitutes for property-specific evidence.
