Deal Score
What the Deal Score in Deal Analyzer means, how to read it, and what to do when a deal scores low.
Every deal you run through Deal Analyzer gets a Deal Score, so you can compare deals at a glance without re-reading every line of the results.
The scale
Section titled “The scale”Deal Score runs from 0.0 to 10.0, shown to one decimal place (7.5, not
8 or 75). A higher number is always better.
If you see a number larger than 10 next to a deal, it isn’t the Deal Score. It’s one of the other figures on the results page, most likely a percentage return like ROI. Check the label before comparing it to anything in this article.
Reading the label
Section titled “Reading the label”Next to the score, Deal Analyzer shows a badge naming the band the deal falls into:
- Excellent Deal
- Good Deal
- Fair Deal
- Poor Deal
The bands run in that order, from strongest to weakest: 8.0 and above is Excellent, 6.0 and above is Good, 4.0 and above is Fair, and anything lower is Poor.
Wholesale deals also show a Deal Grade
Section titled “Wholesale deals also show a Deal Grade”Wholesale deals carry an additional Deal Grade block, shown right below the 0-10 Deal Score on the results page, not instead of it. It pairs a letter grade with a short label. The same Deal Grade also appears on the Export PDF report for a wholesale deal, alongside the Deal Score.
Deal Grade is specific to wholesale deals. It does not appear on deal cards in your Deal Pipeline or in a deal’s details view, which show the 0-10 Deal Score only.
Where you’ll see it
Section titled “Where you’ll see it”- On the results page after you select Analyze My Deal in Deal Analyzer, for whichever strategy you’re analyzing
- On each deal’s card in your Deal Pipeline, labeled Score
- When you open a deal from the pipeline, in its details view
- On a deal’s Export PDF report
All of these show the same number for the same deal. They’re just different places you’ll run into it.
If a deal scores low
Section titled “If a deal scores low”- If the results page shows Score withheld instead of a number, that deal hasn’t actually been scored yet. Add the missing fields called out above the score and select Re-Analyze Deal.
- If the deal has a real score and it’s lower than you’d like, treat that as a prompt to revisit the numbers you entered (purchase price, rehab budget, financing terms, rent estimate, and so on) and select Re-Analyze Deal again after adjusting them.
- Deal Analyzer sometimes surfaces a short note from one of the AI coaches (Lenny, Sid, or Annie) addressing a specific concern with the deal, right below the score card. You can also start a conversation with an AI coach directly to talk through a deal.
- Your Deal Pipeline shows the Score on every card, so you can scan your saved deals side by side and see how a weaker one compares to the rest.
