Feature — Deal Analysis

Stop rebuilding the same spreadsheet for every property. Enter the address, the asking price, and a rehab estimate — FoundREI runs the math for flip, BRRRR, long-term rental, short-term rental, and wholesale exits in parallel.
Inside the feature
What it is
Deal analysis is the cash-flow and exit-value math that decides whether a property is worth pursuing. Most investors run it in a personal spreadsheet that drifts out of sync the moment the rehab scope or interest rate changes. FoundREI replaces that spreadsheet with a single, auditable analyzer that runs every reasonable exit strategy against the same set of inputs — and saves the snapshot so you can compare your underwriting to actual results after closing.
- Five strategies from one input set — no copy-paste
- MAO, ARV, cap rate, COC, IRR, refi proceeds — every metric labeled
- Override-friendly: every assumption is editable
- Side-by-side strategy comparison
- Snapshot saved to the deal for later audit
- Sensitivity sliders for ARV, rate, and rent

Frequently asked questions
What is real estate deal analysis?
Deal analysis is the process of estimating a property's after-repair value, rehab cost, holding cost, financing cost, and exit price so you can decide whether the projected return justifies the risk. FoundREI runs the same set of inputs through five exit strategies — flip, BRRRR, long-term rental, short-term rental, and wholesale — so you can compare side-by-side instead of building a fresh spreadsheet for each.
Which formulas does FoundREI use?
Maximum Allowable Offer = ARV × 0.70 − Rehab − Wholesale Fee. BRRRR refinance proceeds = ARV × LTV. Cash-on-cash return = annual pre-tax cash flow ÷ total cash invested. Cap rate = NOI ÷ purchase price. Each formula is shown on screen with its inputs so you can audit every number.
How accurate are the projections?
Projections are only as good as the comps, the rehab scope, and the assumed rents. FoundREI surfaces the assumptions behind every number, lets you override any field, and stores the snapshot with the deal so you can compare projected vs. actual when the deal closes.
Can I model creative financing?
Yes. Seller financing, subject-to, hard money, DSCR, and conventional are all first-class inputs. Adjust rate, term, amortization, points, and interest-only periods and the cash flow and exit math update in real time.
Does it work in any market?
Yes. Inputs are market-agnostic. Pair FoundREI with your local MLS comps, contractor bids, and rental data and it models any U.S. market.
