Every candidate is ranked on the land-to-improvement value split from public assessor records. In Omaha, Sarpy County (Omaha), the structure still holds about 55% of value with land around 45% — enough building to renovate rather than scrape, which is the value-add thesis.
How these are scored
Value-add candidates are screened from public assessor and recorder data: structure age, the land-to-improvement value split, lot size, zoning, nearby development momentum, and owner signals. Scores are screening-grade — a starting point to validate on the ground, not investment advice. See the full methodology →
The deal score ranks how strongly a parcel fits the value-add profile relative to every other parcel screened in Sarpy County (Omaha) — it is a screening signal, not an appraisal or a return estimate. Higher scores reflect a more favorable combination of the inputs that distinguish a genuine renovate-and-resell or renovate-and-hold candidate: a structure old and dated enough to have clear upside but still sound enough to keep, a land-to-improvement value split that says you're paying for the building rather than just the dirt, lot and zoning that support the existing or a modestly improved use, development momentum in the surrounding blocks, and any owner or listing signals that suggest a workable entry. Scores are comparative within a market and built entirely from public county data, so a high score means "look here first," not "this will be profitable." Always confirm ARV, rehab scope, condition, and comps locally before acting.
What is a value-add deal?
The value-add strategy targets properties where there is enough usable building to renovate, not demolish, and where a cosmetic-to-moderate rehab can close the gap between the property's current condition and what the surrounding submarket already supports. Typical candidates are functional but dated single-family homes and small multifamily (2–8 units) — original kitchens and baths, deferred maintenance, outdated systems — sitting in neighborhoods where renovated comparables sell or rent for meaningfully more. The thesis is the renovation spread: buy on the as-is structure, add value through the rehab, and capture the difference on resale (a flip) or in higher rents and refinanceable equity (a BRRRR-style hold). Unlike a teardown play, the existing improvements still carry real value here, so the structure is the asset you're improving, not a liability you're clearing. We surface these by screening public assessor and recorder data across an entire market and ranking each parcel on the signals that distinguish a real value-add from an overpriced fixer or a true scrape.
How to evaluate a value-add deal
- Renovation spread, not just a low price: confirm renovated comparables in the same submarket support an after-repair value (ARV) or rent well above the as-is price plus a realistic rehab budget — pull 3-6 recent renovated sales/leases within a tight radius.
- Right scope of work: favor cosmetic-to-moderate rehab (kitchen, baths, flooring, paint, systems) over structural or full-gut jobs; check year built, condition signals, and the land-vs-structure value split to confirm there's enough sound building to keep.
- Strengthening location: look for momentum nearby — recent renovations, new construction, permit activity, and rising comps on the block — so you're renovating into a rising submarket, not against it.
- As-is basis vs. ARV: the deal works only if the entry price reflects current condition; verify the property is priced on the existing structure, and stress-test your numbers with conservative ARV and a contingency on rehab cost.
- Holding and exit math: account for carrying costs, financing, permits, and realistic timelines, and decide the exit up front (resale vs. refinance-and-hold), since each demands different margins and rent assumptions.
- Verify on the ground: every signal here comes from public records and is screening-grade — inspect the property, confirm zoning and permitted use, get contractor bids, and validate comps locally before committing capital.
