Feature — Property Screening
Score every lead against your buy box — automatically
The average investor spends three hours reviewing 30 leads to find one worth pursuing. DealForge does the triage in seconds and lets you spend that time on the deals that actually matter.
- Codify your buy box once, apply it forever
- Pass / review / reject verdict with reasons
- Bulk import via CSV or paste-list
- Re-score historical leads after criteria changes
- Built-in market filters: zip, school district, year built
- Stack-ranked dashboard of top opportunities
What it is
Property screening is the first filter in a healthy deal pipeline. Most investors do it manually — opening Zillow, eyeballing comps, guessing rehab, and discarding. DealForge replaces that intuition with a structured rubric: every lead gets a numeric score against your buy box, plus the reasoning, so you spend your underwriting time only on the deals that actually qualify.

Frequently asked questions
What is a buy box?
A buy box is the written criteria that defines which deals you'll consider — markets, price range, beds/baths, year built, condition, minimum margins, and exit strategy. DealForge turns your buy box into a scoring rubric that every inbound lead is graded against.
How does property screening work?
Each lead is matched against your buy-box rules. DealForge returns a numeric score, a pass/review/reject verdict, and the reasons behind it (e.g. 'rejected — projected ROI 7%, threshold 18%').
Can I screen properties in bulk?
Yes. Paste a list of addresses or import a CSV from your MLS, wholesaler, or driving-for-dollars app. DealForge scores them in batches and ranks the top opportunities.
Does it integrate with my CRM?
DealForge stores leads natively. CRM exports and webhook integrations are on the roadmap; speak with the team during onboarding if you need a specific integration.
What if my criteria change?
Update the buy box and rescore historical leads with one click. Useful when a market shifts or you broaden into a new strategy.
