# Deal Analyzer inputs by strategy

> The required and recommended inputs for each Deal Analyzer strategy, and what happens to your Deal Score when recommended inputs are missing.

Deal Analyzer asks for different inputs depending on the strategy you pick: **Fix & Flip**, **BRRRR**, **Buy & Hold**, **Short Term Rental** or **Wholesale**. Inputs fall into two groups.

- **Required** inputs are the minimum. Until you fill them in, **Analyze My Deal** stays disabled and the page shows "Complete all required fields to analyze your deal".
- **Recommended** inputs make the analysis complete. You can analyze without them, but the **Deal Score** shows a dash with **Score withheld** until they are filled in.

When recommended inputs are missing, a yellow banner titled "Woops! it looks like this score could use a bit more data!" lists them by group, for example "It looks like you're missing the **financing** data". Add the fields, then select **Re-Analyze Deal**.

> **Note:** You can still select **Save to Pipeline** while inputs are missing. Your pipeline works as a watchlist while you gather the rest.

## Cash purchases

If you turn on **Cash Purchase**, the loan-only inputs (**Down Payment %**, **Interest Rate %** and **Loan Term (Years)**) are no longer expected, and they never appear in the missing-data banner. **Closing Costs** is still recommended, because a cash deal has closing costs too.

## What counts as filled in

A number input counts as filled in only when it is above zero. A blank field or a zero is listed as missing in the banner. The one exception is **Total Rehab Amount**: a **$0** you type yourself counts as filled in, because a deal with no rehab is a real answer. A blank field is still listed as missing.

> **Note:** The Deal Score only shows once the recommended inputs are in. For what the score means and its bands, see [Deal Score](https://docs.reinvestorhub.ai/reference/field-reference/deal-score/).
