The Outcome

Weeks of assembling data, answered in a single scan.

Zoning rules, parcel records, flood risk, tax basis, and valuation data — gathered and modeled the moment you enter an address. You get buildable units, GFA, construction cost, and ROI for land development, ADUs, and detached structures, so you can rule a site in or out before you commit time or capital.

How it works

From address to answer in three steps.

Enter the site

Drop in an address or describe the project. The engine pulls parcel, zoning, rent, and hazard data automatically.

Run the analysis

Buildable units, gross floor area, unit mix, construction cost, and a deal score — computed in seconds.

Decide with confidence

Unlock full financials and export a professional PDF and pro forma when a site is worth pursuing.

Two engines

Built for how land actually gets developed.

Pick the analysis that fits the site. Each one returns a structured, sourced read you can act on.

Real Estate

Know what a parcel can earn before you bid. Highest-and-best-use: units, GFA, unit mix, development value, profit, and ROI — plus full site & environment diligence: flood, rainfall, soil, tree canopy, and elevation.

Detached Structures

Know if a backyard build pays for itself. Size an ADU, guest house, detached garage, workshop, or pool house against your lot, setbacks, and height limits — then project cost, added value, rent, and ROI.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What is a development feasibility analysis?

It estimates what you can build on a site and whether it pencils financially — buildable units, gross floor area, construction cost, and return — so you can decide before spending money on consultants.

Can I analyze a garage, guest house, or other detached structure?

Yes. The Detached Structure engine sizes an ADU, guest house, detached garage, workshop/studio, pool house, or home addition against your lot, setbacks, and height limits, then projects cost, added value, rent (for rentable dwellings), and ROI.

Is Real Deal Engine still in beta?

Yes. We're in active development and refining the models and data continuously. Every figure is a feasibility estimate meant to help you screen a site quickly and decide what's worth pursuing — always verify zoning, costs, and financials with your local authorities and licensed professionals before you transact.

Is there a free version?

Yes. A free Quick Scan returns buildable size and a deal score for any address. Paid reports unlock full financials, professional PDFs, and pro forma exports.

Where does the data come from?

Analyses draw on public and licensed sources — property and parcel records from ATTOM, U.S. Census demographics, FEMA flood maps, and market rent comparables — combined with the engine's development math.

Do I need to be a licensed developer?

No. Real Deal Engine is built for investors, agents, homeowners, and small developers who want a fast, defensible read on a site before going deeper.
