Metrics
Offer Ceiling
The highest purchase price that still meets your targets under the assumptions shown.
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 your targets. Verify rent, financing, taxes, insurance, property condition, and material costs before using it in a negotiation or purchase decision.

Where Offer Ceiling shows up in TrueCap
The analyzer computes this metric on every run from the assumptions you see and can edit, shows it in the results view beside cash flow after reserves and DSCR, and uses your targets for it in Buy Box fit and in the Offer Ceiling — the highest price that still meets those targets. It appears in the written decision memo and the PDF with the same value and the same inputs.
