💡 What is ARV and Why Does It Matter for Real Estate Investors?

Jeanne Conca
Posted

If you're flipping or rehabbing properties, understanding ARV (After-Repair Value) is non-negotiable.

ARV = the estimated value of a property after all repairs and renovations are completed.

🏠 Example:

You buy a fixer-upper for $250K.

You invest $75K in renovations.

Once it’s done, it could sell for $425K.

That $425K is your ARV.

🔍 So why does ARV matter, especially with private lending?

1. Better Leverage.

Banks typically lend based on the purchase price, ignoring the value you’ll create.

✅ We lend based on ARV, which means more capital upfront to fund your project.

2. Smarter Loan Structures.

Private lenders like Hummingbird tailor funding based on the final value of the home, so your loan works for your business plan, not against it.

3. Bigger ROI Potential.

The higher your ARV, the more room you have for profit after expenses.

We help you run the numbers before you close.

📈 Bottom line: Understanding ARV helps you buy better, borrow smarter, and build wealth faster.
