About DealLevel

The short answer

DealLevel is a web app that tells you whether a rental property, a BRRRR, a flip or a short-term rental makes sense, and names the one number most likely to break it. It is built for people analyzing their first few deals.

What it does

You enter a property’s price, rent and loan, and DealLevel works out what it leaves you after every cost. Then it gives one of three answers: this deal works, cutting it close, or this deal doesn’t work. Under the answer it names the assumption the deal rests on most, like the rent or the interest rate, and the point where the deal turns into a loss.

How the answer is worked out

The answer comes from fixed rules applied to your numbers, not from a guess. A rental works when it makes money every month, the cash you put in earns at least 8% a year, and the rent covers the mortgage at least 1.25 times after running costs. Each calculator page sets out its rules and works them through on its sample property.

DealLevel AI, part of Pro, reads the same numbers. It points out the ones that look too hopeful and suggests realistic ones to try, turns the deal into questions for the seller or agent, and answers what-ifs like a lower rent. What DealLevel AI does.

Who it is for

People looking at their first few investment properties, and anyone deciding whether to rent out a home they already own. Agents and wholesalers can share a deal with a client or a lender through the one-page report.
