How a Residential Appraisal Can Help With Real Estate Investments

A residential appraisal is an unbiased, professional estimate of a home’s value. For real estate investors, this helps in:

• Determining the as-is value before any improvements

• Estimating the ARV (After Repair Value) post-renovation

• Ensuring you’re not overpaying upfront

• Supporting financing or hard money loan decisions

• Setting a profitable list price when you’re ready to sell

Knowing these values upfront gives you more control over your budget and profit margin.

Understanding ARV (After Repair Value)

When flipping houses or remodeling distressed properties, the ARV is your best friend. This number reflects the estimated market value of the property after all renovations are completed. Appraisers calculate ARV by:

• Reviewing recent comparable sales (comps) in the same neighborhood

• Analyzing your planned upgrades (kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, etc.)

• Considering overall market trends and buyer demand

At Maverick Appraisals, we don’t just slap on a number—we evaluate the real impact your improvements will make, so you get a realistic picture of future value.
