@John Warren This is for a property I'm looking to buy - I don't own it. I'm trying to analyze what the subject property's ARV will be so I can bake it into my projected refi and cash left in the deal.

@Anthony Dooley Gotcha. Alright I'll use this for sqft adjustments.
How about adjustments for unique characteristics, like age of building, a fireplace, deck/porch, etc. Do we just estimate based on replacement cost?

Also, what if comps have same number of bedroom/baths but 1,000 less sqft? How do I assess the price adjustment for this?

Hello everyone, I'm having difficulty when it comes to calculating ARV. I have a good sense of what goes into it (I read J Scott's Guide to Estimating ARV), however I'm having trouble on determining the adjustment values for say an extra bedroom or bath or age of building or cost of porch/deck.
Is there a resource you guys are using to determine these values? I've read it's not always good to use PPSF.
Are you getting guidance from a property manager or contractor?
Thanks!
Chris

Thanks for the advice @Dennis M.
What do you typically aim for in terms of the 1-2% rule as well as your targeted cash on cash return %?

This first one was brought to me by a broker I found online.
First step for me was cold emailing a ton of brokers. Out of 40-50 emails only about 3 responded. One of them was the broker who brought me this deal.
I'm curious why only 3 responded. Did you have a very specific criteria?
I'm in the process of speaking with several broker/agents. Any tips on what helped you narrow down your choice on who to roll with or was it just a matter of one of them being able to get you what you were looking for?
Congrats on your deal btw, nice value-add.

@Gary Guidi Sounds like an amazing deal, job well done!
I wasn't aware you're able to put only 20% down for large MF properties but I'm guessing that's because its structured as a 5 year balloon payment?
Could you talk a little bit more about the agency debt you plan on switching to next year and how it's going to be structured?
