What Is After-Repair Value?
After-repair value (ARV) is a realistic estimate of what a property will sell for once your planned renovation is finished. It is built from recent sales of comparable, already-renovated homes nearby, adjusted for size, condition and features.
Loan to ARV is simply the loan amount divided by that projected value. Lenders cap it so there is a healthy equity cushion between what you owe and what the finished home is worth. That cushion protects you as much as it protects us if the market softens before you sell.

An ARV loan is sized on the finished property, not the one you buy. Drag the handle to compare. Photos are illustrative.
