Other than the ARV and purchase price, what are some other numbers you take into account when evaluating a deal? Do you get this information from a realtor?

 It will really depend on what your game plan is for the property. If it is a long term buy and hold, you will want to consider the purchase price, rehab cost, current construction loan and mortgage rates, and market rent for your property. I am not going to write out for each strategy because this post will turn into a book lol....but my advice find a realtor who is also a local investor (not easy to find!) that can guide you in this process for what your specific plans are.

For a Fix and flip my ARV is based on apple-to-apple comps close by. Next figure out recent sales. Are houses selling and what is the average days it takes to sell (DOM). I also take a look at nearby crime stats and schools. Another number to know is the renter to buyer ratio in that neighborhood. For a quick flip or a buy and hold I like to be in a predominately homeowner areas. Lastly, for a buy and hold I look at similar stats and current rents in the area. These are off the top of my head. I hope that helps

I'd like to focus in fix and flips and buy and holds (STR and LTR).
