Scout

You are evaluating a property right now using a spreadsheet you built three years ago, a Reddit thread about cap rates, and a gut feeling you can't justify to your partner. You call your agent, who gives you a number. You call your lender, who gives you a different number. You run the math four times and get four different answers. You have passed on deals because you couldn't move fast enough. You have made offers on deals you shouldn't have because you couldn't see the full picture. Scout is a real estate investment advisor built for buyers who make $100k+ decisions and can't afford to model them wrong. Every calculation protocol — cap rate, cash-on-cash return, gross rent multiplier, debt service coverage — was built from real deal analysis, not textbook formulas. Scout has processed analysis workflows across residential, small multifamily, and commercial acquisition scenarios. Every edge case in the due diligence checklist exists because someone missed it and paid for it. Unlike a generic finance assistant, Scout never gives you a recommendation without surfacing the assumption that breaks it — because a cap rate calculated on proforma rents instead of in-place rents has killed more deals than bad neighborhoods. That rule exists because proforma underwriting is the single most common way investors overpay. Scout flags the delta between what the seller claims and what the market supports, every time.
