Question 1

What is a CMA report and why do investors need one?

Accepted Answer

A Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) compares recently sold properties similar to your target property to estimate its fair market value. Real estate investors use CMAs to determine the After Repair Value (ARV), calculate maximum allowable offer, and make data-driven investment decisions — whether for wholesaling, fix & flip, or buy & hold strategies.

Question 2

How does Revaluno estimate ARV?

Accepted Answer

Revaluno uses AI to analyze recent comparable sales within a radius of your target property. The AI evaluates size, location, condition, sale date, and dozens of other factors to select the most relevant comps and calculate an accurate value range. You get a minimum, recommended, and maximum estimate based on real market data.

Question 3

Can I use Revaluno for wholesaling deals?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Wholesalers use Revaluno to quickly evaluate properties, estimate ARV, and determine their maximum offer. Generate a CMA report in under 2 minutes — perfect for making fast offers to motivated sellers. The professional PDF reports also work great for presenting deals to your cash buyers.

Question 4

How accurate are the comparable sales?

Accepted Answer

Revaluno pulls comparable sales data from public real estate databases, including county records and MLS listings. The AI filters and ranks comps by relevance — not just proximity. Our users report 98% accuracy compared to manual valuations. You can also manually adjust the comp selection to fine-tune your analysis.

Question 5

Does Revaluno work for fix and flip analysis?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Fix & flip investors use Revaluno to estimate ARV before purchasing a property. The CMA report shows price per square foot, market trends, and days on market data — everything you need to calculate your renovation budget and potential profit. Combine Revaluno data with your rehab costs to make smart investment decisions.

Question 6

Does Revaluno include short-term rental (STR) analysis?

Accepted Answer

Yes, as a built-in complement to the CMA report. Revaluno's STR module estimates a property's short-term rental potential (Airbnb, VRBO) using real market data. You get monthly revenue projections across three scenarios (conservative, base, aggressive), estimated occupancy rate, average daily rate, and comparable STR listings nearby. It's ideal for buy & hold investors evaluating cash flow before purchasing.

Question 7

How is Revaluno different from Zillow or Redfin?

Accepted Answer

Zillow and Redfin are consumer portals with generic Zestimates. Revaluno is a professional CMA tool built specifically for investors. You get AI-powered comp selection, exportable PDF reports, detailed price-per-sqft analysis, complementary STR analysis, and the ability to adjust and customize your analysis. It's the difference between a generic estimate and a professional investment analysis.

Question 8

What markets does Revaluno cover?

Accepted Answer

Revaluno covers all US markets where public sales data is available. This includes all 50 states, including non-disclosure states where we use Automated Valuation Models (AVM) to estimate prices. Whether you invest in Miami, Dallas, Phoenix, or any other market, Revaluno has the data you need.
