Comment on As-Is & As-Repaired Values for Investors by Luis Manuel Caballero

Appraisers know the definitions of “as is” & “ARV”. We just want to know how to the actual appraisal report. The 1004 form has a spot for one market value, which is typically “As Is”. Where can I include the ARV on the appraisal report? I have selected about 8 comparable sales from from $300,000 for fair physical condition like the subject from $425000 in average to good physical condition. Do I have to do two sale grids for “As Is” value and another for After Repaired Value? Thanks, Luis

Comment on What an Appraisal Report is Really Telling You by Tammie Houston

Thanks for letting me know that real estate consultants will tell me how the price of the home I’m planning on buying compares to others in the same neighborhood. The fact they can tell me a lot about the home as well, including the age and systems installed in it will be a big help in finding a home that’s fit for me and my family. We’re moving out of our old house and are looking for a place near to where my husband is going to be working, and I would hope that wherever we move has the same amenities we have currently. That way I won’t have to adjust to too many changes when it comes to household amenities.

My sister mentioned that she is looking to have her commercial property appraised before she puts it up in the market. I agree that this post shared that it is important to improve the condition of the property as it will impact the value. Since I am meeting my sister for lunch, I will definitely advise her to consider getting it improved.
