A 7.5% cap can still band Weak
The band reads rent against its comps, comp quality and days on market. In the example search, 88 Weyant Ave has a 7.5% cap, but its rent already sits at the top of its comp range; 1428 Maplewood Dr, at 7.4%, has room to raise it.

The deal, specifically
The purchase price is the anchor of this deal. At $149,900 the property trades far under the market's $340k median and its own $179/sqft is a discount to the $241 area figure, which is what drives the double-digit yield regardless of where rent settles.
Rent is where to apply discipline. The $2,080 estimate outruns the $1,702 comp anchor and sits against a market rent series that has slid roughly 7–10% over the year. Underwrite closer to the low end of the $1,714–$2,446 band; even there the yield stays in the mid-teens, so the deal survives a conservative rent, it just isn't as fat as the headline.

Negotiation target
What to offer, with the math shown
The target starts at the asking price and comes down for each point of leverage the listing gives you, like a failed higher ask, a long time on market or an older house. Every deduction shows its dollars, and the target fills in your offer letter.

Six questions people ask first
More questions? Read the full FAQ, or see how CapScout compares with other investment software.
What is CapScout?
CapScout is an AI acquisition platform for investors and the firms that help them buy residential investment property on the open market. You search a market by the return you need, such as a minimum cap rate, rent-to-price ratio or ARV (after-repair value) ratio, and only listings that clear it come back. ScoutScore triages every result. ScoutSense underwrites the listings you pick (deal narrative, risks, comps and a verdict), each with a negotiation target worked out from the listing’s own leverage, for Buy & Hold and Fix & Flip. A saved buy box keeps checking new listings. Investors use it for their own deals; agents, brokerages and property managers use the Team plan to do the same for investor clients and send the analysis under their own brand.
Where do rent estimates come from?
From nearby comparable rentals. Each estimate comes with a range and is checked against HUD fair-market rents and Census medians, and the report’s confidence drops when they disagree.
Can I change the assumptions?
Yes. You set the vacancy, maintenance and management rates the search uses, and every number in an underwrite can be edited afterwards, with up to four scenarios saved per deal.
How much does CapScout cost?
Free to start with 500 credits. Credit packs are $19.99 for 1,500 or $39.99 for 3,500 and never expire; monthly plans are $29.99 for 3,000 or $49.99 for 6,000. The Team plan is $129 a month for 3 seats.
Which properties and markets?
Single-family and multi-family listings in US markets, for Buy & Hold and Fix & Flip.
How accurate is the AI analysis?
Each ScoutSense analysis states a confidence level with its reasons, such as the comp count and correlation and how old the listing and tax data are. Treat it as an underwriting opinion: it speeds up your due diligence and doesn’t replace it.
