Feature: What-If Scenarios

Change One Number, Watch the Whole Quadrant Shift

Investors negotiate blind. They don't know if $5K in concessions or $50/mo less rent actually moves the needle on total return — until now.

Most Analysis Is a One-Shot Answer

A traditional analysis gives you numbers for one set of assumptions. To see what happens if rent is $100 less, or if you negotiate a better price, you recalculate from scratch. What-If Scenarios lets you change any assumption and see the full quadrant update instantly — so you can explore a deal's sensitivity before you commit.

How It Works

Adjust any assumption, watch every stream respond.

Change Any Assumption

Adjust rent, purchase price, appreciation rate, vacancy, expenses, interest rate — any input that affects return.

Watch the Quadrant Rebalance

The 2×2 quadrant updates in real time. Streams that depend on your change shift immediately; fixed streams stay steady.

Compare Before and After

Run two scenarios side by side — current offer vs. your counter, market rent vs. below-market — and let the numbers make your case.

When Does a Small Change Have Big Impact?

Not every assumption matters equally — here's how to tell.

Rent Has Outsized Impact via the Cap Rate Multiplier

Every $100/mo in rent is $1,200/year in NOI. At a 6% cap rate, that $1,200 in NOI corresponds to $20,000 in property value. Rent isn't just cash flow — it's also appreciation potential and exit value.

Appreciation Rate — Big Number, Hard to Influence

Changing the appreciation assumption changes the largest box, but you can't negotiate appreciation. Use this slider to stress-test: what does the deal look like at 2% appreciation vs. 4%?

Price Reductions — Direct Impact on ROI

Negotiate $10K off the purchase price and your down payment drops (with less invested, your ROI percentage rises). The quadrant shows this immediately through the percentage-based views.

Why This Matters

What-if analysis changes how you negotiate, evaluate, and optimize.

Due Diligence

Run pessimistic scenarios before you close. See what the deal looks like at 90% of projected rent, 2% higher vacancy, and 3% appreciation instead of 5%.

Negotiation Power

Walk into a negotiation knowing exactly what a $10K price reduction, seller concession, or closing cost credit means to your total annual return.

Rent Optimization

Should you raise rent by $75 or $150? The return quadrant shows you the total impact across all four streams — not just the cash flow line.
