What is After Repaired Value Atl Hard Money Lender

When you’re taking out a hard money loan in Atlanta or any of the surrounding communities, you need to know that the loan can be based on the after-repaired value, or ARV, of a home. But what is ARV, and how does it affect your loan?

What is After-Repaired Value?

A home’s after-repaired value reflects the property’s value after it’s been fixed up—not its value in its current condition.

How is ARV Calculated?

In order to calculate a house’s ARV, a skilled appraiser will figure out its current value (based on its current condition, as-is). Based on a list of repairs the appraiser notes, experts estimate the home’s value if all the sub-standard conditions are repaired. That’s done by finding comparable properties in the same area, just as any appraiser would do if a home didn’t need to be rehabbed.
