It's easy to fall in love with a deal and let the ARV follow your excitement instead of the comps.
Pull three to five truly comparable sales, not just the nicest house on the block, and adjust for condition honestly. An ARV that's even 5% too high can turn a profitable flip into a break-even one once rehab and holding costs are counted.
Cross Country Lending's team has underwritten enough deals to spot an inflated ARV from across the table. Talk numbers with us before you lock anything in.
