Rental Deal Analysis: Underwriting, Scoring, and Investment Criteria
Every rental property deal looks good in the listing description. The numbers on the MLS sheet always work. The question is whether the numbers work after you run them through a real underwriting model with conservative assumptions, actual rehab estimates, and a cash flow floor that accounts for everything that can go wrong.
Most investors use a spreadsheet with a few formulas: purchase price, rent, expenses, and whatever cash-on-cash number pops out. That approach misses the metrics that actually predict whether a deal builds wealth or traps capital. Equity position matters more than cash flow in a BRRR. Capital velocity matters more than yield if you are trying to scale. A deal where you recover 100% of your invested capital and cash flow $180/month is better than a deal where $25K stays trapped and you cash flow $350/month.
These posts cover how to underwrite rental deals with discipline: the validation gates that kill a deal before you waste time on it, how to score deals on equity, capital recycling, cash flow, and rehab simplicity, what a ROCKET vs. STEADY vs. SLOW velocity rating means, and how to build a repeatable underwriting process that filters 50 leads down to the 2 worth pursuing.
