Metrics
Offer Ceiling
The highest modeled purchase price that still meets your selected targets under the assumptions shown. It is not a recommended offer.
How it's calculated
Offer Ceiling = work backward from your selected target metrics using the property's modeled NOI and your financing assumptions.Example
With $32,000 of modeled NOI and a selected 7.5% cap-rate floor, the cap-rate-only Offer Ceiling is $32,000 ÷ 0.075 = $426,666; other selected targets may produce a lower boundary.
Why Offer Ceiling matters
The Offer Ceiling shows where the model stops meeting the selected targets. Verify rent, financing, taxes, insurance, property condition, and material costs before using it in a negotiation or purchase decision.
