How to Use the Deal Analyzer Wizard (Step-by-Step Guide)

The Deal Analyzer Wizard helps you evaluate any foreclosure deal in minutes — whether you’re flipping or renting.

This tool walks you through each key number and turns it into a full ROI snapshot, so you can make smarter offers fast.

🔍 Step 1: Enter Property Details

Start by entering the subject property’s address (or a nickname). This helps you stay organized when running multiple deals.

Then plug in:

• Square footage (approximate)
• Purchase price (what you’d like to offer)
• After Repair Value (ARV)

If you’re unsure about ARV, use our ARV Estimator to pull comps first.

🔧 Step 2: Estimate Repairs

Next, choose your rehab level:

• Light ($15/sqft)
• Medium ($30/sqft)
• Heavy ($50/sqft)

The wizard auto-calculates the total rehab cost based on square footage — or you can enter a manual amount if you have a quote.

Tip: Round up 10–15% if you haven’t walked the property.

⏱️ Step 3: Holding Time & Monthly Costs

Now set your holding period (months) and input:

• Loan interest (if using private money)
• Property taxes & insurance (monthly)
• Utility estimates

If you’re unsure, start with $1,200–$1,600/month as a safe baseline.

Use our Holding Costs Guide for more help.

📈 Step 4: Selling or Renting

Decide your exit:

• Flip: Add expected closing costs (10% of ARV is standard)
• Rent: Enter monthly rent and expected expenses (repairs, vacancies, mgmt)

The tool will calculate:

• Profit after sale
• Cash-on-cash return
• Monthly and yearly net income (if renting)

📊 Step 5: View Results & Adjust

You’ll see your full summary:

• Estimated profit
• ROI and % return
