ARV is after repair value. This is the projected value of the property after the rehab is complete. For single family homes and small multi this is determined by comps - comparable homes in the same market / location.
70% of ARV means that you want your costs - purchase, rehab, closing, etc. - to total 70% of this number.
BRRRR only works when there is significant potential to increase the ARV. if something just needs a touchup... it's going to be very, very difficult to buy at the discount that you need to make BRRRR work.
hope this helps
