Start with the decision question
The central report question is whether the property’s asking price fits the investor’s selected goal under the current assumptions. The 3Y Estimate™ is the goal-convergent price supported by the modeled income, expenses, financing, and goal. Gap analysis compares that price with the asking price.
Read the report sections together
Market Pulse
Market Pulse surfaces timely local news and development signals with reference articles. It can point to developments worth investigating, but it is AI-curated, may contain mistakes or geographic misattribution, and is not a market forecast.
3Y Location Score™
The Location Score is a 0–100 location-level signal based on housing, rental, economic, urban, climate, and safety factors. It describes surrounding market support and location risk; it does not determine whether the asking price works for the selected goal.
3Y Estimate™ and gap analysis
The 3Y Estimate is the price the selected goal can support under the current assumptions. Compare it with the asking price to see whether the two numbers meet, and use the gap explanation to understand which supported deal inputs may change the result.
Projected ROI path
This section models how cash flow, principal paydown, and potential appreciation may build over time. It highlights years 5, 7, and 10 to frame possible hold, refinance, or sale paths. These are assumption-based scenarios, not guaranteed outcomes.
Neighborhood
Neighborhood shows population, housing, and rental-demand characteristics across the report’s available 1-, 3-, and 5-mile views. Repeated values can indicate that the source resolution is broader than the displayed radius rather than a reporting error.
Location Scan
Location Scan surfaces nearby structures or observations that may deserve more investigation, such as airports, rail tracks, colleges, correctional facilities, cemeteries, and environmental observations. It is an online research aid, not a property inspection or professional environmental assessment.
Deal metrics
Deal metrics explain how the property performs under the modeled numbers. Depending on the report, these can include NOI, cash-on-cash return, DSCR, cash velocity, operating cap rate, OpEx ratio, GRM, the 1% rule, mortgage payment, and total investment.
Data & assumptions
This section shows the inputs behind the analysis: the selected goal, rent and growth assumptions, financing, vacancy, management, repairs and capex, make-ready, other income or expenses, insurance, and property tax. Review this section whenever a result looks surprising because the report can only be as useful as the assumptions it is given.
Keep the two main decisions separate
The 3Y Location Score™ helps explain the surrounding location. The 3Y Estimate™ helps explain the price the investor’s goal can support. A strong location does not make an asking price work, and an attractive goal-convergent price does not remove location or property-specific risk.
