How much does a new roof effect the ARV on a SFH

Tyler Smith
Posted

I am in the process of doing a BRRRR on a SFH. The roof is relatively new (within 3 years old), but looks bad. Should I purchase a new roof for $6500 and hope that increases the ARV?

My expected numbers on the SFH (without the new roof) are below:

Purchase Price: $155,000 cash

ARV: $300,000

 75%: $225,000

REHAB: $70,000

Should I add the new roof for the overall aesthetic of the home but more importantly will this raise the ARV to help accommodate the extra rehab expense?

Thanks!

If the roof is only 3 years old doesn’t leak and was installed correctly hire a company to clean it.  It will look great when there done.  I’ve had it done it will be a big improvement.  If you were flipping it I would say it’s a must.  For a rental it’s just an aesthetic look.  Pay a few books and clean it.
