Common questions from new real estate investors
Absolutely! PropLab was designed with beginners in mind. Every analysis includes educational tooltips explaining terms like ARV, MAO, cap rate, and cash-on-cash return. You'll learn the language of real estate investing while analyzing actual deals.
ARV stands for After Repair Value—what a property will be worth after renovations. It's the foundation of every investment calculation. PropLab calculates ARV automatically by analyzing comparable sales in the area and adjusting for property differences.
PropLab provides clear deal recommendations: Pass, Consider, or Strong Buy based on your investment criteria. We also flag specific risks like overpriced ARV, unrealistic rehab budgets, or difficult exit strategies so you understand exactly why a deal might be risky.
PropLab can analyze wholesale deals where you don't need to buy the property—you assign your contract to another investor for a fee. We can also model creative financing structures like seller financing or subject-to deals that require less cash upfront.
PropLab analyzes every property for multiple exit strategies side-by-side. You'll see projected returns for flipping, renting, and BRRRR so you can choose the best fit for your goals, risk tolerance, and available capital. We recommend most beginners start with simpler deals.
Start by analyzing properties on Zillow, Redfin, or the MLS to practice. You can also analyze wholesale deals, off-market properties from direct mail, or auction listings. PropLab works with any US property address—just paste it in and get instant analysis.
