Start Free TrialFrom Zip Code to Top Deals in Under 10 Seconds
Finding a rental that actually cash-flows usually means hours of listings, spreadsheets and guesswork. Market Analysis does the whole job from one ZIP code — here is what that looks like, screen by screen.
Ranked Results
Skip the Spreadsheet — the Market Arrives Already Ranked
Type a ZIP code and every for-sale listing comes back underwritten and sorted by how well it performs as a rental. Instead of opening twenty listings and running twenty calculations, you open one screen and start at the top: the deal most likely to make money under your own assumptions is already #1.
- No more copying listings into a spreadsheet one at a time
- Every property judged by the same rules, so the ranking is fair
- Losers are obvious at a glance — red cash flow, no digging required
- Start with the best deal instead of scrolling through all of them
Interactive Map
Know the Good Streets Before You Ever Drive Them
Location is half the deal, and the map makes it obvious. The ranked results are plotted so you can see which parts of the ZIP code produce the strongest returns and which to avoid — pattern recognition that would otherwise take weeks of driving and dozens of showings.
- Color-coded markers show where returns cluster and where they don't
- Judge a block from the street-level photo without leaving your desk
- Jump from any pin straight into the full analysis
- Same results as the grid — just a faster way to read a neighborhood
Sortable Table
Sort by the Number That Matters to You
Every investor weighs deals differently. The table view lets you re-sort the entire market by whichever metric drives your decision — price, rent, expenses, cash flow or return — so the listing that fits your strategy rises to the top without you recalculating anything.
- Cash-flow investor? Sort by cash flow. Value buyer? Sort by price per square foot
- Rent and expenses side by side, so the spread reads instantly
- Listing details and a Zillow link on every row for quick verification
- Compare the whole market on one screen instead of tab-hopping
Your Assumptions
Set Your Numbers Once — Every Listing Follows Them
The analysis is only as good as the assumptions behind it, so they're yours to set: your lender's terms, your down payment, your reserves for vacancy, repairs and management. Enter them once and every listing in the market is underwritten exactly the way you would do it by hand — minus the hand.
- Financing, closing costs and rehab budget applied to every property automatically
- Operating expenses set as a percent of rent or a flat amount — your call
- Sensible defaults get you a first scan in seconds; refine when you're ready
- Change one assumption and re-scan to see how the whole market moves
Saved Analyses
Compare Markets and Come Back Anytime
Shopping several markets? Each scan is kept with its criteria, so you can line up Cape Coral against Tampa against Orlando and see which one deserves your capital — then come back to the winner whenever you're ready to act.
- Every scan saved automatically with the assumptions that produced it
- Search, sort and filter your history to compare one market against another
- Re-open a scan weeks later without re-entering a thing
- Turn any scan into a Smart Alert that re-runs itself on a schedule
AI Reads the Whole Market Before You Read a Listing
Numbers tell you which listing wins. The AI tells you whether the market is worth winning in — and how to play it.
Market Health Score
Understand a Market in One Read, Not One Weekend
Before you study a single listing, the AI reads the whole scan and tells you what kind of market you're looking at, what the best-performing properties have in common, and what to watch out for. It's the briefing an experienced local investor would give you — generated for any ZIP code in seconds. Informational analysis, always paired with your own due diligence.
- A single 0–100 score tells you whether a market deserves more of your time
- The property type and price range that actually work there — drawn from the real results
- Risks named up front, each with a way to mitigate it
- Recommendations concrete enough to become your next search filters
Market Health Score
A 0–100 score and classification for the market you scanned, so you know its quality at a glance.
Property Insights
Best property type, sweet-spot price range and what the top-ranked listings have in common.
Risk Factors & Mitigation
Negative cash flow trends, low rent-to-price ratios and volatility, each with a specific mitigation strategy.
Actionable Recommendations
Target property types, price ranges, cash flow thresholds and due diligence priorities you can turn into filters.
The Full Property Analysis Behind Every Rank
A ranking gets you to the right listing; the full analysis gets you to a decision. Every result opens into the same seven-tab underwrite, so the due diligence that used to take an evening takes a coffee break.
Property Overview
Every Number You'd Ask About, Answered on One Line
Click any ranked result and the full analysis is waiting — no forms, no re-entry. The header answers the questions you'd ask a partner about the deal, and because the price and rent are editable, testing a lower offer or a more conservative rent takes one click instead of a rebuilt spreadsheet.
- Cash flow, cap rate, cash-on-cash, ROI, rent-to-price and GRM at the top of the page
- Edit the price or rent and watch every metric recalculate instantly
- Share, print or save the deal without leaving the screen
- A "How to read this analysis" guide for anyone new to the metrics
Cash Flow Analysis
Know What You Can Charge — and What It Really Costs
The two questions that make or break a rental — how much rent can I charge, and what will it cost me — are answered before you ask. The rent estimate comes from comparable rentals around the property, every expense is pre-filled, and all of it is editable, so you get a trustworthy first answer instantly and a tailored one in minutes.
- Rent estimated from real nearby rentals, with a confidence level and a realistic range
- Expenses filled in for the property automatically — taxes, insurance, vacancy, maintenance, management
- Edit any line to tailor the analysis to how you operate
- See the cash you need to close and how many years until it's paid back
AI Insights
A Second Opinion That Isn't Afraid to Say No
Even the top-ranked listing in a market can be a bad buy, and the AI will tell you so. It weighs the numbers the way a seasoned investor would, explains what's strong and what's risky, and compares strategies — so you avoid the deals that only look good on a listing site and commit with confidence to the ones that hold up.
- A clear verdict — Strong Buy, Buy, Hold or Avoid — with a confidence level
- Strengths and concerns spelled out in plain language, not jargon
- Long-term rental, fix & flip and BRRRR scored so you pick the right strategy
- A written recommendation you can act on today
The Rest of the Due Diligence, Already Done
Everything else you'd normally research separately is already there — where the deal goes over time, how your equity builds, what nearby rentals really get, and what the county knows about the property.
Multi-Year Projections
Judge the Deal You'll Actually Own — Not Just Year One
Year one is usually a rental's worst year, so judging a hold on it talks you out of good deals and into bad ones. This tab lays out the whole hold — rent rising against expenses, the tax shield, and what you'd walk away with if you sold in any given year — so you can see the year the deal turns profitable instead of guessing at it.
- Years 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 20 and 30 side by side — income, expenses, NOI and cash flow
- After-tax cash flow, with depreciation and mortgage interest worked out for you
- Sale analysis for every year: net proceeds after capital gains and depreciation recapture
- Cash-on-cash, cumulative ROI, annualized return and IRR — plus cap rate, DSCR, LTV and debt yield
Loan & Equity
Watch Your Tenant Buy the Property for You
Cash flow is the income you notice; loan paydown is the one you don't. Every payment your tenant covers moves money from the bank's column into yours, and this tab makes that second return visible — alongside the total interest figure that tells you what the financing is genuinely costing.
- Equity against loan balance across 30 years, with the year your equity overtakes the debt
- Initial equity, final equity and total appreciation called out as plain numbers
- An amortization chart showing how each payment splits between interest and principal
- Loan amount, rate, term and the total interest the loan will really cost you
Rental Comparables
Don't Take the Rent Estimate on Faith — Check Its Work
Rent is the single input every other number leans on — get it wrong and the cash flow, the cap rate and the projections are all wrong with it. So the estimate arrives with its evidence attached and its comps under your control, which is the difference between a number you hope is right and one you've checked.
- Every comparable rental behind the estimate, on a map and in a sortable table
- Rent, rent per square foot, similarity score, distance, beds, baths and size for each one
- Untick any comp that doesn't belong and the estimate rebuilds without it
- A prompt to drop comps across a major road, where rents genuinely differ
Area Rental Market
The Whole Neighbourhood's Rents, Not Just Five Comparables
A rent built from a handful of listings is one bad comparable away from being wrong. Every result carries the entire ZIP code behind it — what it rents for today, which way rents have moved over two years, and what similar homes actually ask. Nobody had to assemble that, and no spreadsheet has to be kept up to date. It is simply there when you open the property.
- The estimate placed against the area's range for that exact bedroom count
- Twenty-four months of median rent, with the one, three and twelve-month change
- What every bedroom count and property type actually fetches nearby
- Days on market and how many rentals a new listing would compete with
Market Direction
Know Which Way the Market Is Moving Before You Commit
Comparable sales tell you what a property is worth today. They say nothing about whether that number will still be there when you refinance or sell. Smart Rental Investor reads twelve months of prices and time-on-market together and says plainly whether you are buying into a rising market or a softening one — the context that decides whether an exit holds.
- A dial reading buyer's, balanced or seller's market from prices and time-to-sell together
- Two years of median sale price, so today's comparables are seen in context
- Your value against the area's range for that bedroom count
- Median price, price per square foot, days on market and how much is for sale
Value Comparables
See the Sales the Value Was Built From
An estimated value with nothing behind it is a number you cannot defend. Here the sales that produced it are on the table — so when someone asks why the property is worth that, the answer is a list of addresses rather than an opinion.
- Every comparable sale and listing behind the estimated value, mapped around the property
- Price, price per square foot, distance and match strength on a sortable table
- Exclude a sale that does not belong and the estimated value corrects itself
- The evidence a lender or a partner asks for, already attached to the analysis
Property Info
The County Records Research, Already Pulled
This is the tab that normally costs you three browser windows and half an hour — the county assessor, the tax roll and the listing, reconciled by hand. It arrives filled in, so you can confirm the tax line in your analysis, see how fast assessments are climbing, and know who owns the property before you pick up the phone.
- Taxes, insurance, HOA, price per square foot, county and days on market in one panel
- Construction detail — year built, architecture, roof, heating, cooling, garage and lot size
- Zoning, subdivision, assessor ID and legal description, without a trip to the county site
- Last sale date and price, owner-occupancy, plus three years of assessed value and tax history

Property Owner Data
Know Who Owns It and What They Paid

Why Market Analysis Matters for Rental Property Investors
Most investors evaluate deals one listing at a time: open a property, guess the rent, build a spreadsheet, and hope the numbers work. By the time you have done that for a handful of homes, the good one has gone under contract and you have no idea whether the zip code was even worth your evening. Real estate market analysis flips the order — you underwrite the entire market first, then spend your attention only on the listings that already clear your bar.
A rental market scanner does that underwriting for you. Every active listing in a zip code is run through the same rental calculation — rent estimated from nearby comparable rentals, mortgage, taxes, insurance, vacancy, maintenance and management at the rates you choose — and ranked by cash-on-cash return. What you see is not a list of houses for sale; it is a list of investments, best first, with the cash flow, cap rate, ROI and rent-to-price ratio already attached. That is how you find cash-flowing properties in a market you have never set foot in, and how you know when a market is not worth your money at all.
Why Rank by Cash-on-Cash Return?
Cash-on-cash measures the annual cash flow against the cash you actually put in — down payment, closing costs and rehab — so it tells you what your money earns, not what the house costs. Two listings at the same price can have wildly different returns once real rent and real expenses are applied. Ranking the whole market by CoC surfaces the deals that pay you every month instead of the ones that merely look cheap.
How Do You Compare Markets Fairly?
Use the same assumptions everywhere. When every scan applies your down payment, interest rate, vacancy and management fee, the difference between Indianapolis and Miami is the market — not your spreadsheet. Save each scan with its criteria, then reload and compare: where do the top twenty cluster, what does the best deal return, and how many listings clear your minimum cash flow?
What Does a Market Health Score Tell You?
The AI reads the entire scan and scores the zip code 0–100 with a Strong, Moderate or Weak label, then names the property type and price band where the winners sit and the risks that apply to the whole area — negative average cash flow, low rent-to-price ratios, volatility in the lower price ranges. That is the context you need before trusting any single listing's numbers.
Why Look at the Map, Not Just the List?
Returns cluster by street, not by zip code. Plotting the ranked results shows which sub-neighborhoods keep producing green markers and which stay red — the pattern you would otherwise learn only after owning the wrong house. Pair the map with the Look Around street view and you can screen a market from your desk before you ever book a flight.
