What This Tool Does

Underwriting a real deal means looking at Cap Rate, Cash-on-Cash Return, DSCR, and Break-Even Ratio together — not one at a time. Deal Analyzer takes a single set of inputs (purchase price, income, expenses, financing terms) and calculates all four core metrics simultaneously, flags whether the deal clears typical lender thresholds, and lets you stress-test it against a tougher vacancy and rate environment before you commit. When you're done, export a one-page PDF summary to share with a partner or lender.

Core Underwriting Metrics & Formulas

• NOI = Effective Gross Income - Operating Expenses • Cap Rate = NOI / Purchase Price × 100% • Cash-on-Cash Return = (NOI - Annual Debt Service) / Total Cash Invested × 100% • DSCR = NOI / Annual Debt Service • Break-Even Ratio = (Operating Expenses + Annual Debt Service) / Effective Gross Income × 100%
NOI:Net Operating Income generated by the property annually.
Cap Rate:Unleveraged annual rate of return on the purchase price.
Cash-on-Cash Return:Leveraged annual cash flow return relative to total cash invested.
DSCR:Ratio of net operating income to annual mortgage debt service.
Break-Even Ratio:Minimum occupancy percentage required to cover expenses and debt service.

A Real Example

A $2,800,000 property with $336,000 in gross potential income, 5% vacancy, and $92,000 in annual operating expenses: • NOI: $227,200 → Cap Rate: 8.11% • Financed with 25% down ($700,000) plus 2% closing costs, a $2,100,000 loan at 6.5% over 25 years • Cash-on-Cash Return: 7.55% · DSCR: 1.34x · Break-Even Ratio: 82.13% • Deal Health: Healthy — both DSCR and Break-Even Ratio sit comfortably within typical lender thresholds Now stress-test it (vacancy up to 10%, rate up to 7.5%): • DSCR drops to 1.13x — right at the edge of most lenders' minimum threshold • Break-Even Ratio rises to 92.01% — into the warning zone This is exactly why stress-testing matters: a deal that looks comfortably healthy in the base case can lose most of its cushion under a modestly tougher (not extreme) scenario.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does this give different numbers than running each calculator separately?

It shouldn't — Deal Analyzer uses the exact same calculation logic as our individual Cap Rate, NOI, Cash-on-Cash, DSCR, and Break-Even Ratio calculators. The advantage here is entering your numbers once instead of five times, which also eliminates the risk of accidentally using slightly different inputs across separate tools.

What stress test assumptions does this use, and can I customize them?

By default, the stress test applies +5 percentage points of vacancy and +100 basis points of interest rate — a moderate, not worst-case, scenario. This matches the stress-testing approach described in our How to Underwrite a Deal guide. Custom stress scenarios may be added in a future update.

Is the PDF export suitable for a formal loan application?

No — treat it as a working summary for your own analysis or informal discussion with a partner or lender, not a substitute for the formal underwriting package (verified financials, appraisal, etc.) a lender will require.
