I built a pre-offer research brief that was missing from my workflow — first 50 free
I kept doing the same thing every time I looked at a small multifamily deal. Open 10+ tabs. Pull the county assessor page. Check FEMA. Look up crime stats. Census data. Walk Score. Try to find permit records. Then spend an hour in a spreadsheet modeling debt service at different rate scenarios. Two to three hours of work before I even knew if the deal was worth a phone call to the broker.
So I built a tool that does it in about 60 seconds.
It's called DealBrief (getdealbrief.com). You enter a property address, it pulls public data — tax assessment, city permit records, FEMA flood zone, ZIP-level crime stats, Census demographics, walk score — runs back-of-envelope NOI and debt service scenarios at four rate assumptions across two LTV levels, and flags anything that looks off. The output is a formatted PDF research brief.
Currently live in DFW, Houston, Phoenix, Charlotte, Raleigh-Durham, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, and Miami-Fort Lauderdale.
I want honest feedback from people who actually evaluate deals, so the first 50 reports are free. Use code PROMO at checkout. No catch — I just want to know what's useful and what's missing.

Happy to answer any questions about the tool or the data sources.
