What CapScout does
From a search to a fully underwritten deal.
Triage the whole list, underwrite the keepers, model the hold, and hand a client something they can read. Built for the investor who vets dozens of listings to find the one that pencils.
ScoutScore
The whole list triaged before you click.
Most tools score one property at a time, after you have already picked it. ScoutScore scores every result the moment it loads, assigning a band and two or three personalized, market-relative tags tuned to your goal. The list self-sorts.
- A Strong / Fair / Weak band plus specific tags like top yield, cheapest per square foot, or a recent price cut.
- Tags are market-relative: they reflect how each listing compares with the others on the page.
- Sort by Scout match to surface your best candidates at the top.

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.
Risk register
- MED×MED Realized rent falls short of the $2,080 estimate toward the $1,702 anchor.Underwrite at $1,800; verify with two local leasing quotes before closing.
- MED×MED Softening rent market (down ~7–10% YoY) pressures renewals.Lock a 12-month lease at market and budget one month vacancy on turns.
- LOW×MED Tax reset on sale raises carrying costs above 2016 levels.Confirm the current-year tax bill and model a reassessment to sale price.
Medium confidenceComps are strong — 15 at 0.93 correlation — but the rent estimate spans $1,714–$2,446 (±17.6%).
- Rent estimate carries a ±17.6% band and exceeds the $1,702 comp anchor; treat $2,080 as an upper case
- Property tax figure dates to 2016; confirm the current bill
- Listing data is 39 days old
Ask ScoutSense
Every underwrite opens a conversation.
The report is where the conversation starts. Ask what happens at a lower offer, poke at a risk, stress-test the rent. ScoutSense answers from this deal's own underwrite.
- Grounded answers: every reply draws on the deal's analysis — the comps, the risks, the verdict — and shows what it used.
- Real math on demand: ask a what-if and the deal modeling engine recomputes the actual numbers, before and after.
- Keep it going: a conversation comes with every underwrite, and question packs let you keep pressing when a deal deserves it.

CapScout goes further: tax treatment, exit-strategy trade-offs, rehab line items, and multi-year projections, all updating live as you adjust assumptions. When you're done, you know exactly where the deal breaks: the rent drop, the rate, or the rehab overrun that flips it red.

- Exit-strategy comparison: flip vs. BRRRR vs. long-term hold, side by side on the same deal.
- Sensitivity analysis: stress-test rent, rate, and price on a two-way heatmap to find where the deal breaks.
- Flip rehab budget builder: line-item costs with per-square-foot presets that roll up into your deal model.
