Execution Flow

Step 1: Property & Market Data Collection

Use `WebSearch` to gather property and local market data:

WebSearch("<address> property listing zillow redfin realtor")
WebSearch("<address> county assessor property records tax")
WebSearch("<address> rental estimate rent zillow")
WebSearch("<city> <state> real estate market trends appreciation rate")
WebSearch("<city> <state> average rehab renovation cost per sq ft")
WebSearch("<zip code> recently renovated homes sold price")

Extract the Property Investment Profile:

| Field | Value | |-------|-------| | Full Address | [Street, City, State, ZIP] | | Asking Price | [$X] | | Bedrooms / Bathrooms | [X] / [X] | | Square Footage | [X sq ft] | | Lot Size | [X] | | Year Built | [YYYY] | | Property Type | [SFR/Multi-family/Condo/etc.] | | Condition | [Excellent/Good/Average/Fair/Poor] | | Annual Property Tax | [$X] | | HOA | [$X/mo or N/A] | | Estimated Monthly Rent (as-is) | [$X] | | Estimated Monthly Rent (renovated) | [$X] | | Local Appreciation Rate (annual) | [X]% | | Current Mortgage Rate (30yr) | [X]% |

Step 2: Strategy 1 — Buy & Hold Analysis

Evaluate the property as a long-term rental investment with appreciation upside.

2.1 Acquisition & Financing

| Parameter | Value | |-----------|-------| | Purchase Price | $[X] | | Down Payment (20%) | $[X] | | Loan Amount | $[X] | | Interest Rate | [X]% | | Loan Term | 30 years | | Monthly P&I | $[X] | | Closing Costs (2.5%) | $[X] | | Immediate Repairs (if any) | $[X] | | **Total Cash Invested** | **$[X]** |

2.2 Annual Cash Flow

| Line Item | Year 1 | Year 2 | Year 3 | Year 5 | Year 10 | |-----------|--------|--------|--------|--------|---------| | Gross Rent | $[X] | $[X] | $[X] | $[X] | $[X] | | Vacancy (-[X]%) | -$[X] | -$[X] | -$[X] | -$[X] | -$[X] | | Property Management (-[X]%) | -$[X] | -$[X] | -$[X] | -$[X] | -$[X] | | Maintenance (-[X]%) | -$[X] | -$[X] | -$[X] | -$[X] | -$[X] | | CapEx Reserve (-[X]%) | -$[X] | -$[X] | -$[X] | -$[X] | -$[X] | | Insurance | -$[X] | -$[X] | -$[X] | -$[X] | -$[X] | | Property Tax | -$[X] | -$[X] | -$[X] | -$[X] | -$[X] | | HOA | -$[X] | -$[X] | -$[X] | -$[X] | -$[X] | | **NOI** | **$[X]** | **$[X]** | **$[X]** | **$[X]** | **$[X]** | | Mortgage (P&I) | -$[X] | -$[X] | -$[X] | -$[X] | -$[X] | | **Net Cash Flow** | **$[X]** | **$[X]** | **$[X]** | **$[X]** | **$[X]** |

**Assumptions for projections:**

• Rent growth: 2-3% annually (use local data if available)
• Expense growth: 2-3% annually
• Property tax growth: 1-2% annually
• Insurance growth: 3-5% annually

2.3 Appreciation & Equity Buildup

| Metric | Year 1 | Year 3 | Year 5 | Year 10 | |--------|--------|--------|--------|---------| | Property Value | $[X] | $[X] | $[X] | $[X] | | Appreciation Gain | $[X] | $[X] | $[X] | $[X] | | Mortgage Balance | $[X] | $[X] | $[X] | $[X] | | Principal Paid Down | $[X] | $[X] | $[X] | $[X] | | Total Equity | $[X] | $[X] | $[X] | $[X] | | Equity as % of Value | [X]% | [X]% | [X]% | [X]% |

**Appreciation Projection:**

Future Value = Purchase Price x (1 + Annual Appreciation Rate)^Years

Use the local historical appreciation rate from WebSearch. If unavailable, use:

• High-growth markets: 5-7% annually
• Average markets: 3-4% annually
• Slow-growth markets: 1-2% annually

2.4 Tax Benefits

| Tax Benefit | Annual Amount | Basis | |-------------|---------------|-------| | Depreciation | $[X] | (Purchase Price - Land Value) / 27.5 years | | Mortgage Interest Deduction | $[X] | Year 1 interest portion | | Property Tax Deduction | $[X] | Annual property taxes | | Operating Expense Deductions | $[X] | Management, maintenance, insurance | | **Total Tax Shield** | **$[X]** | | | **Tax Savings (at [X]% bracket)** | **$[X]** | |

**Depreciation Calculation:**

Land Value Estimate = 20-30% of purchase price (varies by location; urban = higher land %)
Depreciable Basis = Purchase Price - Land Value
Annual Depreciation = Depreciable Basis / 27.5 years

2.5 Total Return — Buy & Hold

| Component | 5-Year | 10-Year | |-----------|--------|---------| | Cumulative Cash Flow | $[X] | $[X] | | Appreciation Gain | $[X] | $[X] | | Principal Paydown | $[X] | $[X] | | Tax Savings | $[X] | $[X] | | **Total Return** | **$[X]** | **$[X]** | | **Annualized ROI** | **[X]%** | **[X]%** | | **Total ROI on Cash Invested** | **[X]%** | **[X]%** |

2.6 Break-Even Analysis

Monthly Break-Even Rent = (Mortgage + Taxes + Insurance + HOA + Management + Maintenance + CapEx) / (1 - Vacancy Rate)
Break-Even Occupancy = Total Fixed Costs / Gross Rent

| Break-Even Metric | Value | |-------------------|-------| | Break-Even Monthly Rent | $[X] | | Current Rent vs Break-Even | +/- $[X] ([X]% margin) | | Break-Even Occupancy Rate | [X]% | | Months to Recoup Cash Invested (from cash flow alone) | [X] months | | Months to Recoup (cash flow + appreciation) | [X] months |
