Stop Guessing ARV: Fix & Flip Underwriting Step-By-Step (Real Deal Breakdown)

Are you a real estate investor, aspiring flipper, or wholesaler who wants to stop guessing on deals and start underwriting like a pro? In this video, I walk you step-by-step through a real live deal and show you exactly how I decide whether it’s a win… or a hard pass.

You’ll see my full thought process as I:

1. Read the listing like an investigator (not a retail buyer)
2. Look for hidden red flags in the photos and description
3. Break down the price history to spot seller pain and motivation
4. Analyze septic, well, utilities, and location risks
5. Pull and filter comparable sales (comps) the right way
6. Walk through a complete ARV (After Repair Value) calculation
7. Decide whether this is a legit fix & flip or a money pit in disguise

By the end, you’ll know how to:

Underwrite a property using Redfin step-by-step
Avoid overpaying just because a deal “looks cheap”
Adjust value for bedrooms, bathrooms, garages, basements, and location
Confidently say YES to solid opportunities and NO to bleeding deals
Present yourself to buyers, lenders, and partners as someone who actually knows their numbers
