Deal Score
A 0–100 composite of cap rate, cash-on-cash, monthly cash flow, and DSCR. Use it to triage deals in seconds.
Why Deal Score matters
Deal Score gives you a single number to compare deals across markets quickly. It's a triage tool — not a substitute for the full underwrite. But it's powerful for sorting 20 deals into 'open the analyzer' vs 'walk.'
