Real Estate Tools
Built for Clarity
Tools for buyers, sellers, and investors to evaluate costs, model scenarios, and reduce blind spots — before making high-stakes decisions.
Run the Numbers Before You Make an Offer
These tools are built for fix-and-flip, BRRRR, and land investors who need to verify their deal math before committing capital.
Enter up to 6 comparable sales and a repair budget. Instantly calculates After Repair Value using two methods (avg comp price + $/sqft), Maximum Allowable Offer, a deal breakdown, and a live deal verdict.
Calculate your Maximum Allowable Offer using the investor 70% rule. Adjust the percentage for your market and risk tolerance. Includes holding costs, closing costs, and profit target inputs.
Land valuation requires different assumptions. This guide walks through a 7-step framework — use case, non-negotiables, comps, costs, exit strategy, offer formula, and risk discounts — with a worked example.
Evaluate income properties using conservative operating expense assumptions — vacancy, management, CapEx, and maintenance. See how deal fundamentals hold up under stress scenarios before committing.
Comp selection rules, adjustment methodology, ARV formulas, worked examples, and the 6 most common mistakes that turn good deals into losses. Covers the 70% rule, $/sqft cross-check, and BRRRR application.
Evaluate downside scenarios, liquidity risk, and financing stress — not just projected returns. Returns should remain viable under less favorable assumptions. The foundation for every other investing tool.
For Buyers, Sellers & Homeowners
Tools that help buyers evaluate true affordability and sellers model net proceeds — before making pricing and timing decisions.
Evaluate whether you’re financially ready to buy. Covers income stability, true affordability (beyond lender approval), total ownership costs, and how to factor in market timing — without trying to time the market.
Understand monthly principal and interest payments across loan amounts, rates, and terms. Includes guidance on how to factor in taxes, insurance, maintenance, and long-term rate sensitivity beyond lender estimates.
Estimate what you’ll actually receive after commissions, closing costs, transfer taxes, outstanding loan balance, and any concessions. Helps sellers evaluate pricing decisions and timing before listing.
Model how small price changes affect buyer interest and days on market. Overpricing is the #1 seller mistake — this tool helps sellers see how 3–5% above market compresses their buyer pool dramatically.
Evaluate how rate changes affect affordability, monthly payments, and investor cash flow. Stress-test a deal or purchase at +1%, +2%, and +3% scenarios to understand downside exposure before locking in.
Assess whether current market conditions favor buyers, sellers, or investors. Based on months of supply, absorption rate, DOM trends, and rate environment — with actionable interpretation, not just data.
Tools Work When Used Honestly
Changing assumptions to justify outcomes defeats the purpose. These four principles make the difference between useful analysis and false confidence.
Optimistic assumptions produce optimistic results. Use conservative expense estimates, realistic vacancy rates, and median comps — not the best-case scenario on every input.
Model what happens if rates rise 1–2%, or if your refinance doesn’t hit the ARV you projected. Deals that only work at perfect conditions are high-risk deals with low-risk labels.
The question isn’t just “how much can I make?” — it’s “how much can I lose, and can I absorb that loss?” Every deal should be evaluated against its downside, not just its upside.
Run three scenarios: best case, base case, and stress case. If the stress case is financially survivable, the deal is worth considering. If it’s catastrophic, the deal isn’t priced correctly.
