How Prop Scout works

A decision loop you repeat for every candidate — anywhere in the US.

1

Track candidates

Add properties the way you would in a spreadsheet — location, price, units, and maintenance. Optionally flag candidates as visited or under consideration, and rate neighborhood risk on a 0–5 scale to build your shortlist.

2

Model the numbers

The model computes what matters from your inputs alone: monthly cash flow (NOI) in low and high cases, comfort price, payback period, and projected gain. Every metric is recomputed from your inputs — never from cached spreadsheet values.

3

Ground rents in market data

Track real reference rents (comparables) and draw neighborhood polygons on the map. Rent estimates for matching units autofill from the neighborhoods you’ve drawn — grounded in the market you’re actually scouting.

4

Compare & decide

A filterable table and color-coded map pins let you compare every candidate against the same lens. Pick the property that clears your target cash flow and buy with confidence.

The numbers, in plain English

NOI

Worst- and best-case monthly cash flow after mortgage, maintenance, vacancy, and management.

Comfort price

What the property is worth if it must produce your target monthly cash flow. A big positive gap means the asking price is comfortably low.

Payback

Months to recoup your upfront cost from cash flow — or “no payback” when a deal never cash-flows.

Projected gain

A 1/5/10-year view of the potential net gain so you can weigh appreciation against cash flow.
