Why Every Property Has a Different #1 Lever
A property with high vacancy has a completely different priority than one with above-market management fees. Knowing yours changes how you negotiate, manage, and improve.
Below-Market Rent
Comparable rent research + property improvements = fastest ROI path. Every $100/mo closer to market adds directly to your NOI.
High-Vacancy Property
Tenant retention strategy, faster lease-up, and better screening pay off far more than expense cuts here.
Expense-Heavy Property
Self-manage, re-shop insurance, defer non-urgent CapEx. On an expense-heavy property, every dollar saved hits harder than a dollar of extra rent.
The full app builds a personalized Tornado Chart from your property's actual numbers — ranked by which inputs swing your cap rate the most. Move a slider and watch the ranking update live.
Why Sensitivity Analysis Matters
The inputs you choose to negotiate — and stress-test — determine whether a deal succeeds or fails.
Negotiate Where It Has Leverage
Not all inputs are equal. For one property that's rent; for another it's management fees. The slider demo above shows you which one. A $50/mo rent improvement beats a $5,000 price reduction at a 6% cap rate.
Identify Your Biggest Risk Before You Buy
What if vacancy runs higher than expected? What if expenses creep up? Moving sliders to stress-test scenarios before closing is free due diligence.
Model Best, Likely, and Worst
Set sliders to your optimistic case — then reset to pessimistic. The gap between those two cap rates is your risk range. Know it before you buy.
10 Inputs. One Live Cap Rate.
Every variable that affects your cap rate, all adjustable with a single drag.
The Tornado Chart — Which Inputs Matter Most
Based on a ±10% swing on each input from a 6.60% cap rate baseline. Your property's tornado will differ.
The Rent & Value Gap
At a 6% cap rate, Monthly Rent and Property Value together account for over 85% of all cap rate sensitivity. This is why the best investors focus obsessively on buying below market and pushing rents above market. Everything else is secondary.
The Tornado Chart in the full app is built dynamically from your property's actual numbers — updated whenever you move a slider.
Run Your Own Sensitivity Analysis
Enter your property, move all 10 sliders, and see which inputs have the most leverage on your cap rate — with a full Tornado Chart built in real time.
