The Deal Calculator turns a property into a full investment analysis. Pick Rental or Flip, choose which price to analyze against, and the calculator combines ARV, rent, rehab, buying and selling costs, monthly expenses, and financing into live return metrics. It can also run in reverse: set the return you want and the Max Offer (Target) basis solves for the most you can pay to hit it.
Key things to know
  • Toggle Rental / Flip in the header; each mode keeps its own inputs, targets, and outputs.
  • Pick a Price Basis from one segmented control: List, What if (any price you type), Offer, or Max Offer (Target) (reverse-solves your max price).
  • Admins can pin the current mode or price basis with the pin icon so new analyses open on that choice, and set the default ROI targets with the gear icon in the Max Offer (Target) panel.
  • Expense and loan defaults come from Basic Setup: Financial Presets and Financing (Loans).
  • Everything you change is a local draft until you click Save. Closing with unsaved edits prompts you to save or discard.

What’s inside the calculator

The calculator reads top to bottom in numbered steps. The KPI strip stays pinned to the top while you scroll, so your returns are always visible as you edit.

​
What Max Offer (Target) means

When you switch the price basis to Max Offer (Target), you stop asking “what do I earn at this price?” and start asking “what is the most I can pay to earn what I want?” You enter a return target (a percent, or for flips optionally a dollar profit) and the calculator reverse-solves the maximum purchase price that still hits it, given your current rehab, costs, and rent or ARV. Toggle Before financing or After financing on the Max Offer row. Before financing, the solver ignores loan interest and loan closing costs so you can compare a property-level number across deals. After financing, the solve includes your configured financing; Flip uses the same % / $ target control in both. See Open & Price Basis for the full breakdown.

Common questions

The Offer basis activates once an offer exists on the property. Add a My Offer amount first, then switch to Offer.
The solver needs valid inputs: a target percent (or dollar profit for flips), plus a usable ARV for flips or rent and expenses for rentals. Fill in the missing piece and the target price appears.
If Before financing is selected, that is expected: the unlevered solve ignores financing, including loan closing costs. Switch to After financing if you want Max Offer to include your configured loan interest and fees. Buying costs still affect the target in both modes.
Click Save in the calculator. Properties not yet saved to your pipeline keep only a local draft; once the property is saved, the analysis persists with it and reopens the same everywhere the property appears - Deal Hub, Deal Pipeline, and Messages.
Flip ROI is unlevered: profit divided by total project cost, with financing excluded. CoC (cash-on-cash) is levered: profit divided by the actual cash you put in with your loans. When a loan is on the deal, a smaller after financing line under ROI, Margin, and Break Even shows the financed figures so you can see both. Use the big ROI to compare deals and CoC to judge the return on your own money.
No. Each mode keeps its own forecast, targets, and financing-sensitive inputs. Switching modes swaps the whole context and switching back restores what you had.
From your org’s Basic Setup: expense presets from Financial Presets and loan scenarios from Financing (Loans). Default mode, price basis, and ROI targets are set inside the Deal Calculator (pin icons and the gear in the Max Offer (Target) panel). Everything can be overridden per deal.

​
Limitations

  • The calculator is an underwriting model, not a guarantee: rent estimates, ARV, and appreciation are assumptions you should sanity-check against local knowledge.
  • Target-price solving excludes financing by design; a deal that pencils at the target price may still cash-flow differently depending on the loan you actually use.
  • Saving requires the property to be in your pipeline. From Deal Hub or Lookup, use Save to Edit first.
