Vinyl windows and ARV
Anyone have any experience with replacing old windows to vinyl windows with respect to ARV/appraisal? In the middle of a BRRRR and just wanted to hear from others how much they were able to recoup.

@Daniel Rockrohr in my experience, I would not count on them adding much value at all. Old, broken windows can detract from value, so replacing them would mitigate that reduction of value, but I have only rarely replaced windows (and only on full gut rehabs) and never had an issue with a refi appraisal. Some properties had original wood, some had old replacement windows and some fairly recently replaced windows.
