Case Studies
The properties that achieve stronger pricing usually offer something beyond cosmetic improvement:
better utility, stronger layouts, superior locations, or a noticeably better buyer experience.
Many investors lose momentum. This is where unrealistic ARV assumptions quietly damage portfolio growth, cash velocity, and acquisition capacity. Strong operators underwrite to probable value—not best-case value. That difference matters.
In this case study, the investor purchased a 3-bed, 1.5-bath ranch with a $190,000 purchase price, a $45,000 rehab budget, and an all-in cost of $235,000. Based on three nearby updated sales, the projected ARV was $315,000.
