The 31-field problem

Open the BiggerPockets rental calculator and count the inputs. Purchase price, closing costs, rehab, loan terms, taxes, insurance, vacancy, CapEx, management, utilities, growth assumptions. Call it five minutes of typing per deal once you have every number in front of you, and longer when you have to go dig one up. Screen ten deals a week and that is an hour of retyping, with a typo risk on every field, before a single decision gets made.

Realastat pulls those inputs from a screenshot of the listing, estimates what the listing leaves out using regional market data, and runs the math: cash flow, cap rate, DSCR, cash-on-cash, break-even rent, and a max offer built from your return targets. You review and adjust the inputs instead of hunting them down. First pass done in under a minute.

A calculator gives numbers. You need a decision.

The BiggerPockets calculator ends with metrics on a page and leaves the interpretation to you. Realastat checks every deal against the return targets you set, flags the ones that match your buy box, and solves for your max offer by re-running the full underwriting up to 120 times. The math stays deterministic and fully transparent, so you can audit any figure.

There is also no BiggerPockets equivalent of this: connect Claude to Realastat through our native MCP integration and it can read your buy box, search listings, underwrite matches, and star the deals that hit your numbers, all from a conversation.

Keep BiggerPockets. Seriously.

The BiggerPockets community, forums, and education are the best in the industry, and nothing here replaces them. Learn there. Screen deals here. Plenty of Realastat users do exactly that.

Your next deal, analyzed before the coffee cools.
