How to Use the ARV Calculator: Step-by-Step
- Enter Recent Sales Prices: Start by entering the sale prices of three recently sold similar properties. This helps to calculate an average market value for properties in the area.
- Review the Average Value: The ARV Calculator will automatically compute the average value of the three properties you entered. This average gives a baseline for determining the potential value of your property after repairs.
- Input Discount Percentage: Enter the percentage discount that reflects your expected profit margin or risk factor. This discount percentage helps in determining how much below the average value you should offer to ensure a profitable investment.
- Add Estimated Repair Costs: Estimate the total repair costs needed to bring the property to its ideal condition. Enter this value into the repair cost field.
- Calculate the Offer Price: Click the “Calculate Offer Price” button. The calculator will then determine the offer price by applying the discount percentage and subtracting the repair costs from the average value.
- Review the Offer Price: The calculated offer price will be displayed, providing a clear and concise number that you can use to make an informed decision about your investment opportunity.
By following these steps, you can quickly determine whether a property is a good investment and what offer price will yield the best return.
