Network with others in your community. Meet realtors, attend events, and find a local or statewide group that shares your interests.
How do I determine the After Repair Value (ARV) of a home?
In order to determine the ARV of a potential flip, start by looking at comparable sales in the area; Homes in similar neighborhoods, with a size, age, or floor plan similar to your finished product. The closer that home comes to what you have planned for your finished home, the more accurate of an estimate it will be.
