Real Estate Analyzer

• Evaluating a rental property purchase — run CMA comparables, calculate NOI, cap rate, cash-on-cash return, and project 5-year returns before making an offer.
• Screening investment markets — use the market fundamentals assessment (population growth, job growth, vacancy rates, price-to-income ratios) to compare metros or neighborhoods.
• Analyzing commercial or multifamily deals — apply the income approach, cap rate tables, and DSCR metrics appropriate for investment-grade properties.
• Preparing for a 1031 exchange — walk through identification rules, deadlines, and common pitfalls to avoid taxable boot.

• You need live market data — this skill provides analytical frameworks and formulas, not real-time MLS listings, Zillow estimates, or live rent data.
• Primary-residence purchase decisions — the frameworks are investment-focused (ROI, cap rate, yield); they're less suited to lifestyle-driven home buying.

Covers three primary valuation approaches: Comparable Sales (CMA), Income Approach (Cap Rate / NOI), and Cost Approach. Each includes step-by-step formulas and structured templates so your agent can walk through valuation systematically for residential, commercial, or unique properties.

Calculates Cash-on-Cash Return, Gross and Net Yield, GRM, DSCR, and Price-to-Rent ratio using a complete purchase analysis template. Includes a 5-year projection covering cumulative cash flow, equity build, and annualized ROI.

Bundles the 1% Rule, 2% Rule, 50% Rule, and 70% (flip) Rule as rapid screening tools alongside a full rental yield table with target benchmarks for each metric.

Provides a weighted neighborhood scoring matrix (employment, schools, safety, infrastructure, amenities, growth) and a market fundamentals table with data sources and signal thresholds to objectively compare markets.

A weighted 7-factor scorecard (location, cash flow, appreciation, condition, tenant demand, financing, management burden) that produces a numeric rating from Pass to Strong Buy.

Includes pre-offer, under-contract, and pre-closing checklists covering inspections, title review, permits, and lease verification. Also explains 1031 exchange rules, identification timelines, and common pitfalls.

An investor is evaluating a duplex. The agent runs CMA comps to establish fair value, builds a full monthly income/expense model, calculates cash-on-cash return and DSCR, and generates a 5-year projection — all before the first offer is made.

For a 12-unit apartment building, the agent applies the income approach to derive NOI, benchmarks the cap rate against the provided Class B multifamily range (5.5–7.0%), and scores the deal on the investment property scorecard.

An investor wants to decide between two metros. The agent evaluates each against the market fundamentals table — population growth, job growth, vacancy rates, and price-to-income ratios — and produces a side-by-side comparison with neighborhood scores.

Using the 70% Rule, the agent calculates the maximum allowable purchase price given an ARV estimate and repair budget, then checks whether the deal clears the threshold before deeper analysis begins.
