From spreadsheet to verdict

A spreadsheet stores your assumptions. It never tells you if the deal is good.

Investing IQ is built to make the call. It keeps the math wired together, grades the outcome, and hands you the market read behind the number.

The spreadsheet way

  • Rebuilt for every property. Formulas break on the copy-paste.
  • The numbers update, but nothing tells you whether the deal is good.
  • No market context. Just your own assumptions, echoed back.

The AI read

The numbers tell you what. Investing IQ tells you why.

A cap rate is just a number until you know whether the rents hold up, whether the neighborhood is heating up or cooling off, and what could go wrong. We pull that context in and put it in plain English: strengths, risks, and a strategy you can actually act on.

  • Rent-comp support: is the projected rent realistic for the area?
  • Neighborhood demand and vacancy pressure
  • Deal-specific risks and exactly what to watch
  • A clear call: hold, push rents, or walk away

Analyzing

Strong acquisition for the Austin metro. Cash flow clears comfortably even with a two-month vacancy buffer, and in-place rents trail comparable 2-beds by roughly 6%, leaving a clear path to upside on turnover.

Strengths

  • · Cash-on-cash well above the metro median
  • · Below-market rents with turnover upside
  • · Healthy debt coverage at current rates

Watch

  • · 2-bed vacancy ticking up submarket-wide
  • · Insurance trending above the pro forma
  • · Exit-cap sensitivity in year 5
Recommended play · Hold, push rents on turnover
