How is ARV determined?

Pull 3–5 recently sold comparable properties (same neighborhood, similar size, similar condition) and average their price per square foot. Apply to subject property square footage.

How accurate is ARV estimation?

Professional appraisers with access to MLS data are most accurate. Investor estimates using retail sales can vary 5–15%. Always use conservative ARV to protect your margin.

What is the 70% ARV rule?

MAO (Maximum Allowable Offer) = ARV × 70% − Estimated Rehab Costs. Provides a 30% equity cushion covering holding costs, transaction costs, and profit margin.
