Help with ARV!

[Andre Green]

I need a little assistance with doing some deal analysis on some properties that I am looking to wholesale. I know how to arrive at the price I should purchase the property for but I am having an issue calculating what the ARV is going to be so I can set an attractive selling price to get the property sold quickly.

Should I base the ARV soley on the price of other properties sold in the area within the last 6 months?

Should I be looking at square footage, etc?

Is Zillow a good measure for the value?

Any help and advice will be greatly appreciated!

Don't use zillow to measure value.

How are you coming up with the price you should contract the property for if you don't know the ARV of the property?
