One of the most common questions we get is: “How does Property Assistant decide whether a property is worth viewing, holding, or discarding?”

The answer lies in a clear, rule-based process that combines hard numbers with AI-driven confidence scores. Here’s how it works.

Step 1: Calculating the Purchase Price

At the core of every analysis is a simple but powerful formula:

Purchase Price = GDV – Total Costs – Profit Margin

• GDV (Gross Development Value): What the property will be worth once works are complete.
• Total Costs: Acquisition, refurbishment, fees, and financing.
• Profit Margin: Your desired return, typically 20–25% on flips and BRRR deals.

This ensures the system isn’t just finding “cheap” properties, but deals that actually stack against your strategy.

Step 2: Comparing to Asking Price

Once the purchase price is calculated, we measure it against the vendor’s asking price:

• Approved (To View): If the purchase price is 40% or less of the asking price. These are strong opportunities and move straight into your To View pipeline.
• Hold: If the purchase price is more than 40% of the asking price. These are borderline — potentially workable but requiring further negotiation, deeper due diligence, or market shifts.
• Discard: If the purchase price is more than 60% of the asking price. These simply don’t stack and are moved out of your active pipeline.

This tiered approach means you’re not wasting time chasing deals that can’t realistically deliver returns.

Step 3: Confidence Score Matters

Numbers alone don’t tell the full story. Property Assistant also weighs a confidence score, generated by the AI based on data quality and market comparables.

• High Confidence: The AI has strong supporting data (comps, refurb estimates, demand levels). Status updates follow the price logic above.
• Medium Confidence: The system flags the deal but suggests caution, often holding it until you review.
• Low Confidence: Where data is thin (e.g. unusual property type, limited comparables), the system leans towards Hold or Discard, rather than risk approving a weak deal.

This blend of calculation + confidence gives you a balanced view — clear decisions, with transparency you can trust.

Why It Matters for Investors

Every property investor knows the pain of wasted viewings and chasing “deals” that never stack. With Property Assistant AI:

• You save hours of manual calculations.
• Your pipeline is filled with pre-qualified opportunities.
• You retain control — but the assistant does the heavy lifting.

Think of it as your digital deal sourcer: fast, consistent, and never tired.

Final Word

Deal analysis should be transparent and repeatable. That’s why Property Assistant AI is built on simple rules that every investor understands, layered with AI intelligence to adapt in real time.

The result: fewer wasted hours, stronger pipelines, and smarter investment moves.
