Avoid These 10 ARV Mistakes!
In this solo episode, Ryan breaks down one of the most important skills in real estate investing: accurately analyzing your ARV.
After seeing multiple deals recently with unrealistic comps and inflated valuations, Ryan walks through the 10 biggest mistakes investors make when comping properties — and how those mistakes can quietly destroy your margins before the project even begins.
From cherry-picking comps to crossing neighborhood boundaries, using outdated sales, and falling too emotionally attached to a deal, this episode is packed with practical advice that can help investors avoid expensive mistakes.
Whether you're a wholesaler, flipper, BRRRR investor, or just getting started, understanding your ARV correctly can make the difference between a profitable deal and a painful one.
