DealForge™

Overview

DealForge is an underwriting tool built for acquisition entrepreneurs who need to know whether a deal actually works before committing capital. It handles four distinct deal types — rental real estate, business acquisitions, hybrid deals like laundromats and car washes, and ground-up development — in one place rather than requiring separate spreadsheets for each.

Unlike quick-score tools that spit out a surface-level estimate, DealForge runs full institutional-grade analysis: cap rate, DSCR, IRR, equity multiple, cash flow projections, and sensitivity analysis across six or more variables. The target user is someone evaluating real deals with real money, not a casual browser.

Key Benefits

• Calculates 15+ metrics per deal instantly, including Cap Rate, Cash-on-Cash, DSCR, IRR, EBITDA, and SDE, from a handful of inputs.
• Supports four deal types — Real Estate, Business Acquisition, Hybrid, and Development — each with type-specific metrics and templates.
• Paste a Redfin link to auto-fill property details, cutting manual data entry time significantly.
• Exports PDF reports and lender packets, and generates a shareable link for partners or co-investors.
• Runs recession stress tests and what-if scenarios across any variable in real time.
• Free to start with no credit card required and results delivered in minutes.

How It Works

You paste a Redfin link or enter key numbers manually, then pick a deal template matching your asset type. DealForge immediately returns a full underwriting output — metrics, a 10-year cash flow projection, sensitivity analysis, and an AI-powered invest/pass verdict with negotiation feedback. From there, you export a lender packet or share the analysis via a single link.

Use Cases

• Search-fund operators and independent sponsors evaluating restaurant, e-commerce, or franchise acquisitions using EBITDA and SDE multiples.
• Real estate investors analyzing multifamily or commercial properties who need DSCR and cap rate calculations without building a new spreadsheet each time.
• Hybrid asset buyers — laundromat, car wash, or self-storage operators — who need both property NOI and business SDE analyzed together under a combined DSCR.
• Ground-up developers modeling self-storage or mixed-use projects who need yield-on-cost, YOC spread, and start-delay scenario modeling.
• First-time acquisition entrepreneurs who want to present credible lender packets without hiring a financial analyst.
• Real estate partners or syndicators who need to share a clean, formatted deal analysis with co-investors quickly.

Why Choose This Product

DealForge fills a specific gap for buyers who cross asset classes — the person looking at a car wash this month and an apartment building next month has no single spreadsheet template that serves both, but DealForge handles both natively. That said, users who only ever analyze single-family rentals and want deep MLS integration or automated rent comp pulls from a live database may find a tool like DealCheck or BiggerPockets calculators more convenient for that narrow workflow.
