Frequently asked questions

Everything about how DealIntel evaluates fix & flip deals — the Kill List, the six strategies, the financial model, the markets, and the output.

Product Basics

What is DealIntel?

DealIntel is an institutional-grade fix & flip deal intelligence platform. It scans, scores, and underwrites residential real estate opportunities across 50+ US markets, evaluating each property against a 25-point kill list and six strategy paths before recommending a Proceed, Negotiate, or Pass verdict.

Who is DealIntel for?

DealIntel is built for serious real estate investors, fix & flip operators, syndicators, and capital allocators who size and reject deals on a defensible, institutional standard rather than gut feel. It is not a retail listing aggregator and not a general MLS replacement.

How is DealIntel different from a spreadsheet?

A spreadsheet stores assumptions. DealIntel runs them. Each deal is evaluated against a 25-point kill list, six strategies, a Monte-Carlo financial model (1,000+ simulations), live zoning constraints, financing scenarios, and AI renovation vision — all confidence-weighted and exportable as an institutional Investment Memorandum. The numbers, comps, and risk weights stay current automatically.

Is DealIntel a deal-finding tool?

No. DealIntel is opinionated about rejection, not discovery. It takes a property address (or a small batch) and tells you whether the deal survives institutional rigor. If the primary goal is to find more leads, DealIntel is the wrong product.

Kill List & Strategies

How does the Kill List work?

The Kill List runs 25 deal-breaker checks across structural, market, financing, legal, and exit risk categories — including zoning, title, comp confidence, market liquidity, exit absorption, financing feasibility, and more. Any high-severity flag triggers a 'review terms' or 'pass' verdict before strategy and pricing work begin.

Which strategies does DealIntel underwrite?

Six strategies: Fix & Flip, ADU (accessory dwelling unit), Addition, Multi-Unit Conversion, Ground-Up Development, and Buy-and-Hold (BRRRR — Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat). Each gets its own playbook, capital stack, timeline, and confidence-weighted ROI projection.

What is the difference between Fix & Flip and BRRRR?

Fix & Flip is a short-hold strategy: buy distressed, rehab, sell at retail. BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) is a long-hold strategy: rehab the property, lease it, refinance based on the After Repair Value (ARV), and recycle the recovered capital into the next deal. DealIntel evaluates both side-by-side on every deal.

Can DealIntel evaluate ADU and Addition opportunities?

Yes. ADU (accessory dwelling unit) and Addition strategies are first-class paths in the six-strategy engine, with their own zoning and feasibility checks, construction cost ranges, and post-completion comp logic.

Financials & Modeling

Does DealIntel calculate ARV?

Yes. ARV (After Repair Value) is computed using confidence-weighted comparable sales filtered by recency, distance, square footage, and renovation parity. Every ARV figure on the platform carries a confidence score so users know what is hard data versus inference.

What financing scenarios does DealIntel model?

Hard money, DSCR (debt-service coverage ratio) loans, construction loans, conventional financing, and blended capital stacks. Each is compared side-by-side with full draw schedules, interest reserves, points, and total cost-of-capital math.

Does DealIntel run Monte-Carlo simulations?

Yes. The financial engine runs 1,000+ Monte-Carlo simulations on the recommended strategy and surfaces P10, P50, and P90 outcomes — stress-tested against rate shocks, rehab overruns, and absorption slowdowns.

Platform & Output

Can I export an Investment Memorandum?

Yes. Every evaluated deal can be exported as an institutional-grade Investment Memorandum — a single PDF that is committee-ready, lender-ready, and partner-ready, covering verdict, kill list, strategy comparison, financial model, financing, and offer terms.

Does DealIntel have a mobile app?

DealIntel is an installable progressive web app (PWA). It installs on iPhone, Android, and desktop with a one-tap install — no app store required. The full platform runs natively in the browser and works offline for previously-loaded deals.

What is the AI Renovation Vision?

AI Renovation Vision generates photoreal interior and exterior visualizations of the post-renovation property based on the recommended strategy and scope. It is useful for capital pitches, buyer-marketing prep, and committee presentations.

Does DealIntel generate offer letters?

Yes. When the verdict is Negotiate or Proceed, DealIntel drafts an institutional-grade offer letter pre-populated with the verdict-derived price, contingencies, and key terms — editable and exportable for the user.

Markets, Data, and Access

Which markets does DealIntel cover?

50+ US metro markets across single-family, multi-unit, and ground-up development asset classes. Coverage continues to expand based on member demand.

Where does DealIntel get its data?

Inputs are blended from MLS feeds, public records (assessor, recorder, permits), and confidence-weighted market signals. Every figure carries a confidence score so users can see what is hard data versus inference.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. A free trial is available — sign up at dealintel.io/signup to start evaluating deals against the institutional standard.
