Frequently asked questions
- What is the 70% rule?
- The 70% rule states that an investor should pay no more than 70% of the ARV minus repair costs. For example: ARV $200,000 × 70% = $140,000 − $30,000 repairs = max offer $110,000.
- How do I find comps for ARV?
- Use sold listings (not active listings) within 0.5–1 mile, similar square footage (±20%), same bedroom/bathroom count, and sold within the last 3–6 months. A local realtor or licensed appraiser can provide the most reliable comps.
