The homestruk-deal-analyzer is a powerful investment evaluation tool designed for OpenClaw agents to perform rigorous financial analysis on residential rental properties. It automates the complex mathematical modeling required to determine whether an investment is viable. By calculating essential metrics like Capitalization Rate (Cap Rate), Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR), Cash-on-Cash Return, and the 1% Rule, the skill provides an immediate, objective verdict on whether a property represents a 'BUY', 'PASS', or 'CONDITIONAL' opportunity. It also generates a detailed 5-year financial projection, allowing users to move beyond guesswork and make data-driven real estate decisions.
Installation
To add this skill to your OpenClaw agent, run the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/adamsjb/homestruk-deal-analyzer
Use Cases
This skill is intended for real estate investors, agents, and property managers. Use it when you need to:
- Rapidly screen multiple potential property listings to filter out non-starters.
- Compare two different investment opportunities using standardized financial metrics.
- Perform 'what-if' sensitivity analysis by adjusting variables like interest rates, purchase prices, or rehab costs.
- Prepare professional-grade summaries for investors or partners to justify a purchase offer.
- Quickly estimate if a property will cash flow based on local tax, insurance, and maintenance benchmarks.
Example Prompts
- "Run the numbers on 123 Maple Street. It's listed at $350k, with a projected rent of $2,400. Taxes are $300/mo and insurance is $150/mo. Can I expect it to cash flow?"
- "I'm considering a $450k duplex. Run an analysis for a 20% down payment at 6.8% interest. Assume a 10% management fee and a $20k initial repair budget. Does this qualify as a good deal?"
- "Is a property with a 4% cap rate and a 1.1 DSCR a good investment? Run an analysis on this deal and explain the risks."
Tips & Limitations
The tool relies on accurate inputs. If specific data like local tax rates or insurance costs are unavailable, the skill will attempt to look them up, but providing precise numbers will yield significantly better results. Always verify the 'rehab budget' estimates, as unexpected renovation costs are the most common reason for deal failure. Note that this tool does not account for complex tax strategies or depreciation benefits; it focuses purely on operational cash flow and investment yield.
