Real Estate Deal Screener
Before You Begin
This tool helps you think. Not decide for you.
VetDeals4U is a deal screening tool — not a licensed financial advisor, lender, real estate broker, or attorney. Please read the following before continuing.
Deal Scores
A high score does not guarantee a profitable investment. Markets shift, expenses vary, and every deal has factors no algorithm can fully capture.
DTI & Loan Readiness
Results are estimates only. A 'Pass' here does not mean a lender will approve your application. Approval depends on your full financial profile and lender-specific guidelines.
Cash Flow & Projections
Numbers are based on what you enter. Always verify with local comps, licensed appraisers, and property managers.
VA Loan Tools
Eligibility and benefit calculations are simplified estimates. Confirm all VA-related decisions with a VA-approved lender or the VA directly.
Exported Reports
PDF reports are for your personal use only. They are not certified financial documents and should not be represented as professional analysis to third parties.
Location & Market Data
Sourced from publicly available datasets. May not reflect current market conditions.
By continuing, you acknowledge that VetDeals4U and its creator are not liable for any financial loss, missed opportunity, or damages arising from your use of this application. All investment decisions are yours alone. Always consult a licensed real estate professional, lender, CPA, or attorney before making any financial commitment.

How to Use
VetDeals4U is a deal analyzer built for veterans. Here's how to get the most out of it.
1
Screen a Deal
Tap Screen in the tab bar. Enter the property address, purchase price, monthly rent, units, taxes, insurance, and loan details. Hit Analyze.
2
Read Your Score
Your deal gets a 0–100 weighted score. Strong Deal (70+), Decent Deal (50–69), Marginal (30–49), or Weak Deal (<30). The verdict tells you the bottom line.
3
Deep Dive
After screening, tap Deep Dive for a full breakdown: Cash Flow, Cap Rate, DSCR, CoC Return, Equity, 1% Rule, and more — with explanations for each metric.
4
Save & Compare Deals
Tap Save Deal to store it. View all saved deals from the Home feed or tap See All. Rate deals with stars to track your favorites.

6
DTI Check
Tap DTI Check on the Home screen to calculate your Debt-to-Income ratio against VA's 41% threshold before applying for a loan.
