    Common questions

    How does the Deal Engine analyze a property?

    Paste a Zillow or Redfin link or type an address, and it pulls the property's estimated value and market rent, then runs institutional underwriting: monthly cash flow, cap rate, DSCR, side-by-side financing scenarios, and a five-year exit. It takes about two minutes.

    Is the Deal Engine free?

    Yes. It is completely free and you see the full verdict before you share anything. There are a few free analyses per day; book a working session with Chad to run more.

    Do I need to enter my income or credit score?

    No. The Deal Engine analyzes the property, not you. DSCR investment-property financing qualifies on the property's cash flow, so there is no income or credit input to get the analysis.

    What is DSCR and why does it matter?

    DSCR is the Debt Service Coverage Ratio: the property's gross monthly rent divided by its mortgage payment (principal, interest, taxes, insurance, and any HOA). Lenders use it to qualify investment-property loans without your personal income. A DSCR of 1.0 or higher means the rent covers the payment.

    What kinds of properties can I analyze?

    Long-term and short-term (Airbnb-style) rentals, from single-family homes through small multifamily, in any of the 34 states where we are licensed. You can paste a listing or enter the address manually.

    Where do the numbers come from and how accurate are they?

    Property value and rent are third-party estimates combined with current market rates. They are an institutional-grade starting point for screening deals fast, not a commitment to lend. Always confirm value and rent against your own comps and due diligence before you buy.

    How is the Deal Engine different from the Deal Analyzer?

    The Deal Engine pulls the numbers for you from a listing link or address for a fast underwriting read. The Deal Analyzer lets you enter your own numbers for a deeper, fully customizable pro-forma including tax impact and HELOC financing.

    This is analysis, not a commitment to lend and not an offer of credit. Any financing is illustrative and subject to underwriting and program guidelines.

    Not investment, tax, or legal advice. Property value and rent are third party estimates. Confirm them against your own diligence.
