Why is Hovis asking for more numbers?

Hovis never guesses a number. Here is what it needs.

Updated October 2, 2026

A missing number is never filled in for you. A guess could turn a bad deal into a BUY. So Hovis stops and asks:

"I need [the missing numbers] before I can score this one. I will not guess that."

Numbers Hovis may need

  • Rehab cost. Needed for Fix & Flip and Buy & Hold. If the house needs no work, say $0. Leaving it blank is not the same as $0.
  • Rent. Needed before a rental can pass.
  • Bedrooms, bathrooms and square feet. Needed to check the property fits Brad's rules.
  • ARV. Hovis will not work this out for you. See Why won't Hovis tell me what a house is worth?.

Add the missing numbers and Hovis scores the deal.
