  • • Portfolio roll-up: cash flow, cap rate, cash-on-cash, DSCR across every owned property
  • • Monthly market revaluation using Norfolk County-level price data (FIPS 25021)
  • • PDF and Excel exports for lenders, accountants and partners
  • • Alerts for equity milestones ($100K, $250K, $500K, $1M) and low DSCR

Methodology

Medians are drawn from the latest available Zillow ZHVI/ZORI feed for FIPS 25021. The modeled deal assumes 20% down, a 3% closing cost, a 30-year conventional at 7.50%, and total operating expenses at 35% of gross rent (property tax, insurance, management, maintenance and vacancy combined). Cap rate is NOI over purchase price; cash-on-cash is annual pre-tax cash flow over cash in. These are portfolio-level baselines — actual listings will vary above and below.
