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. DealForge 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.
Who it's for
Flippers
Get MAO, projected profit, and total project cost before you write an offer.
BRRRR investors
See refinance proceeds, cash left in deal, and post-refi cash flow in one view.
Buy-and-hold landlords
Cap rate, NOI, cash-on-cash, and DSCR for every property you screen.
STR operators
Model nightly rate, occupancy, cleaning fees, and platform take.
Wholesalers
Confidently quote MAO and assignment fee to buyers and sellers.
How it works
- Step 1
Enter the property
Address, asking price, beds/baths, square footage, condition.
- Step 2
Sketch the rehab
Either trade-by-trade or a quick $/sqft estimate.
- Step 3
Pick your financing
Conventional, DSCR, hard money, private, or seller-financed terms.
- Step 4
Compare exits
See flip, BRRRR, rental, STR, and wholesale numbers side-by-side.
- Step 5
Save the snapshot
Locked to the deal record for future variance analysis.

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. DealForge 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 DealForge 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. DealForge 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 DealForge with your local MLS comps, contractor bids, and rental data and it models any U.S. market.
