Question on arv for buy and hold

[Tim Boeving]

Hey BPers! So I have a question on ARV. If there are no repairs needed and you purchase at asking price, would you just put the purchase price into the calculator for the ARV as well? I’m analyzing a property and it’s at a 1.6 rule or cash flowing at 170 if using the 50 % rule, but diving deeper it says it has a negative cash flow of 500 a month. I’m wondering if this is because of the way i Input the ARV. Thanks!!
