DealScore: RE Calculator

Know in seconds whether a property is worth your time — before you spend hours on due diligence.

DealScore is the fastest way to analyze a rental property. Enter a listing price, rent, and a few expenses, and the app instantly scores the deal on a 0–20 scale based on your actual cash-on-cash return. No guesswork. No spreadsheets. Just a number.

THE DEAL SCORE

Your score is your annual cash-on-cash return expressed as a percentage. Higher is better. A score of 10 means a Good Deal. A score of 15 means stop hesitating and make an offer.

OFFER STRATEGY

Don't know what to offer? DealScore reverse-solves the maximum price you could pay to hit each deal tier — Must Buy, Great Deal, Good Deal, and Okay — based on your actual numbers. It even suggests a first offer range so you always know where to start.

FULL METRICS SUITE

Every number a serious investor needs: monthly cash flow, cap rate, DSCR, GRM, payback period, break-even vacancy, and cash to close — all calculated automatically as you type.

SMART AUTO-FILL

DealScore auto-estimates property tax, insurance, mortgage, management fees, vacancy, CapEx, and maintenance based on your state and rent. Edit any field to override. The calculator always shows real numbers, never vague placeholders.

HUD RENT ESTIMATOR

Not sure what the property will rent for? The built-in HUD Fair Market Rent tool pulls government rent data for your zip code by bedroom type — so you can sanity-check any rent assumption before you run the numbers.

RULE-OF-THUMB CHECKS

Instant pass/fail indicators for the 1% rule, 2% rule, and 50% rule appear automatically once you enter a price and rent. Tap any chip for a plain-English explanation of what it means.

SAVE & COMPARE DEALS

Save up to 5 deals and sort them by score, cash flow, or date. Perfect for comparing properties side by side while you're actively searching.

LEARN AS YOU GO

New to real estate investing? The built-in Learn tab covers every metric in plain English — cap rate, DSCR, GRM, break-even vacancy, the 1%/2%/50% rules, offer strategy, and the most common mistakes beginners make.
