ProfitScore

A 15% CoC Deal Isn't Always a Good Deal. ProfitScore Tells You Why.

What if the rent estimate is based on one unreliable source? What if the only comp sold 8 months ago? What if the market is cooling? A single return number hides all of that. ProfitScore separates profitability, data confidence, and risk into four transparent scores — so you know which deals are actually worth your time and money.

The Problem

Single-number scores hide the things that matter most

Most deal scoring tools collapse everything into one opaque number. Is a score of 78 good? Why is it 78 and not 85? Does a higher score mean the deal is more profitable, or just that the data looks better? When the scoring is a black box, you can't distinguish a genuinely strong deal from one that just happens to have optimistic inputs. And you definitely can't tell if the inputs are reliable.

The Solution

Four scores that answer four different questions

ProfitScore gives you four numbers, each answering a distinct question. Profitability: how good are the financials? Confidence: how reliable is the data behind those financials? Risk Grade: what external factors could change the outcome? Composite: given all three, what's the probability this deal actually meets your targets? Transparency you can act on.

How It Works

Simple, powerful, automatic

1

Data collection from multiple sources

Each property is enriched with MLS data, tax records, rental comps from multiple providers, market metrics, and public records. Cross-referencing sources builds (or undermines) Confidence.

2

1,000+ Monte Carlo simulations

Instead of point estimates, DealProfit varies every uncertain input — rent, vacancy, expenses, appreciation — within ranges derived from the Confidence score. Low confidence means wider ranges. High confidence means tighter projections.

3

Four scores, ranked and ready

Profitability (0-100), Confidence (0-100%), Risk Grade (A-F), and Composite ProfitScore (0-100). The best deals surface first. The worst ones don't waste your morning.

Key benefits

'78% chance your CoC exceeds 10%' — not just 'CoC is 12%'

Point estimates are misleading. A deal projecting $400/month cash flow might actually range from -$100 to $800 depending on vacancy and rent. Monte Carlo shows you the probability of hitting your specific targets — the number that actually matters for your decision.

Confidence tells you how much to trust the numbers

5 recent comps from the same neighborhood? High confidence. One comp from 8 months ago, 2 miles away? Low confidence. The Confidence score (0-100%) reflects data quality across four dimensions: price comps, rent sources, rehab assessment, and ARV data. Low confidence = wider Monte Carlo ranges = lower ProfitScore.

Risk Grade separates what you know from what might change

Confidence is about the present — do we know the current numbers? Risk Grade is about the future — could things change? Seven risk factors: market volatility, vacancy risk, market direction, interest rate sensitivity, liquidity, regulatory environment, and natural hazard exposure. Grade A means stable conditions. Grade F means high uncertainty ahead.

Profitability weighs 11 financial and market metrics

Not just cash flow. Profitability scores incorporate CoC return (20 pts), cash flow (18 pts), equity position (15 pts), cap rate (10 pts), DSCR (7 pts), breakeven period (5 pts) — plus market quality: crime/safety, population growth, employment, schools, and appreciation trends (25 pts).

Why DealProfit

What makes us different

You see exactly why a deal scores the way it does

No black boxes. ProfitScore shows which metrics contributed, how reliable each data input is, and what risks exist. If Profitability is high but Confidence is low, you know the numbers look good but the data is thin — you need to verify before committing. If both are high but Risk Grade is D, the deal is solid today but the market might shift. Every score tells you something actionable.

Monte Carlo replaces false precision with honest ranges

A spreadsheet tells you cash flow is exactly $387/month. That's false precision — nobody can predict cash flow to the dollar. DealProfit runs 1,000+ simulations and tells you: P10 = $180, P50 = $387, P90 = $595. There's a 94% chance of positive cash flow and a 72% chance of exceeding your 10% CoC target. Those are numbers you can make decisions with.

ProfitScore reflects YOUR targets — not universal benchmarks

A deal that easily exceeds a conservative investor's 8% CoC target might fall short of an aggressive investor's 15% target. The same property gets a different ProfitScore for each investor, because the Composite score factors in the probability of meeting your specific return targets. Your economics, your ranking.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What are the four ProfitScore components and what does each measure?
Profitability (0-100): Pure financial quality — weighs cash-on-cash return, monthly cash flow, equity position, cap rate, DSCR, breakeven period, and market quality (crime, schools, employment, growth, appreciation). Confidence (0-100%): Data reliability — evaluates comp quality, rent source agreement, condition assessment clarity, and ARV data across four sub-scores (C_price, C_rent, C_rehab, C_arv), weighted by strategy. Risk Grade (A-F): External future risk — market volatility, vacancy rates, market direction, interest rate sensitivity, liquidity, regulatory risk, and natural hazard exposure. Composite ProfitScore (0-100): Combines Profitability with the Monte Carlo-derived probability of meeting your return targets.
How does Monte Carlo simulation work in DealProfit?
DealProfit runs 1,000+ scenarios for each deal. In each simulation, uncertain inputs — rent, market value, vacancy, expenses, appreciation — are varied within ranges derived from the Confidence score. High confidence means narrow ranges (e.g., rent varies ±3%). Low confidence means wide ranges (e.g., rent varies ±18%). The result is a distribution of outcomes: P10 (pessimistic), P50 (expected), and P90 (optimistic) for every metric, plus the probability of positive cash flow, exceeding your CoC target, and meeting your equity goals.
Does ProfitScore account for my personal return targets?
Yes. The Composite ProfitScore factors in your specific targets — your CoC target, cash flow target, equity target, and cap rate target — through the 'probability of success' component. A deal is scored on how likely it is to meet YOUR targets based on Monte Carlo simulations, not generic industry benchmarks. Two investors analyzing the same property will see different Composite scores if they have different return targets.
What makes a deal score high vs. low on ProfitScore?
A high ProfitScore (65+) means strong financial metrics, reliable data from multiple sources, manageable external risk, and high probability of meeting your targets across 1,000+ simulations. A low ProfitScore (below 35) means the deal has poor financials, unreliable data, high market risk, or low probability of meeting your targets — or some combination. The breakdown tells you which factor is dragging the score down, so you know if the issue is fixable (e.g., verify rent data) or fundamental (e.g., the numbers just don't work).
Is ProfitScore included in the Free plan?
Yes. Every deal you analyze — even on the Free tier — includes the full four-score ProfitScore breakdown with Monte Carlo ranges. The Free tier covers unlimited manual analysis. Pro plans add ProfitRank (pre-ranked deals in your market), automated sourcing, and deal alerts. Compare plans.
How is ProfitScore different from other deal scoring tools?
Most scoring tools give you one opaque number. ProfitScore gives you four transparent scores, each answering a different question. The Confidence score is unique — no other tool tells you how reliable the underlying data is. And Monte Carlo simulation replaces false-precision point estimates with probability ranges. A ProfitScore of 72 with 88% Confidence and a Risk Grade of B tells you more in 3 seconds than a competitor's "Score: 7.5/10." Compare with DealCheck.
