How After-Repaired Value Can Affect Your Hard Money Loan

Hard money loans are a convenient method for investors to work with lenders to purchase property, especially property that will be flipped or developed for sale as a short-term profit enterprise. Hard money lenders are looking to work with investors in a partnership that allows investors the funds to repair existing buildings or commercial constructions for their resale potential.

There are lenders who will consider providing loans based on the after-repaired value, or ARV.

To take the ARV into consideration requires an appraisal of value before specific repairs or changes planned for the property take place. Usually, an ARV appraisal will consider roofing replacements, foundation repairs, and essential internal appliance upgrades such as central air conditioning, plumbing, and a whole lot more. If specific designs for repair and upgrade of structures are available, the appraiser can include those plans in the appraisal as well.
