Key Points
Step 1: Calculate ARV:
- Start with market comps:
- Same bedrooms, bathrooms, and square footage.
- 0.25 miles and 30 days for the most accurate data.
- Expand gradually to 1 mile and 60 days if necessary.
- The Black Book Advantage:
We fund based on ARV, giving you more leverage to make deals work.
Step 2: Estimate Rehab Costs:
- Break it down room-by-room:
- Measure square footage.
- Identify fixtures, doors, and flooring upgrades.
- Include:
- Labor, materials, permits, and a 10% contingency buffer.
The Black Book Advantage:
Flexible disbursements ensure you get funds when you need them to keep projects on track.
Step 3: Evaluate Profitability:
- Use the formula: ARV - Purchase Price - Rehab Costs = Profit.
- Aim for a 20-30% profit margin for both you and your lender’s confidence.
The Black Book Advantage: We look for strong ARVs and well-documented rehab budgets to streamline approvals.
