This 10-page document certainly isn't an "everything you need to know about doing appraisals and estimating resale value," but should be enough to teach anyone the basics of estimating ARV.

Great resource. Sharing with my business partner. This really helps me build out my process for estimating ARV.

Brian Ung | over 4 years ago  

Great information. I used it to build my own spreadsheet. If this is for ARV, should you really include “condition” as an adjustment to the Subject? Would you assume the condition for the Subject to be Excellent post rehab?

John Thomson | almost 5 years ago  

So glad I found this! Got it downloaded and going to practice.

I do not understand how a 5 year old house with those amenities and 4 bedrooms with 2650 sq. ft. can only be worth $112,000. Not in my area. Where this article is very helpful, just not sure what market it is in. At any rate, the information I am sure is transferable to any market.

Alan Musilek | almost 6 years ago  

Great info, thanks for sharing. What occurred to me as I was looking at this is I should establish a price guide for each feature or amenity most common in markets so I can quickly assign that info for comps - but also for my rehab or development budgets...

Why is this not in PDF format? People have different systems and platforms and not all can open the different varieties of Word documents, but generally all can open PDF documents... that's why it was developed.

You can download a Word Reader from Microsoft where you can at least read the document. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=4

Douglas Kelley | over 8 years ago  

Lakeyla, You need a program that can open a MS Word document that has a .docx file type. For instance, I was able to open it in Word 2010. I saved it as a pdf, but haven't found where I can upload that file for you.

Account Closed | over 8 years ago  

Can't open file.. is this still available?

Lakeyla Gardner | over 8 years ago  

Thanks J! You are the man! Great resource!

Adam West | about 10 years ago  

Is this no longer available? I tried to download, opened it in MS word and the whole file was encrypted. Thanks! Zach

Zach Schaar | about 11 years ago  

Thanks, J Scott, this is great. I'm going to be talking with an agent friend of mine about pulling comps on my primary residence to help me decide whether to rent it or sell it. I now feel more prepared to understand and double check his work.

Justin P. | over 11 years ago  

Every single aspiring real estate investor NEEDS to download this file! Properly and accurately determining ARV is absolutely essential if you are to have any success at all in real estate investing. As always, J delivers the goods. Thanks, Jason.
