Illustrative building. The figures are 5912 Willoughby Ave. Colors show planning priorities, not inspection results.
Estimated local replacement cost
$65K to $146K
Why this estimate?
No roof permit appears in records starting in August 1996. Even a replacement just before that window would be 30 years old in this sample, beyond its 25-year planning life.
How the cost is estimated
Sample report planning range for Los Angeles. National replacement bands are adjusted for local costs and the affected units. This is an estimate, not a contractor quote.
No roof permit at this parcel in LADBS open data (Aug 1996 to Sep 2026), so even a re-roof just before the data starts would be 30 years old against a 25-year life.
Source: Age-based estimate, LADBS open data. assumed from the 1979 build year.
The five-year repair budget
Age-based estimate: $251K to $613K of work in 5 years. That is a sample planning range to investigate. It is not a bill or a deduction already included in every return below.
Next: what if things change? ↓Exhibit B · 5912 Willoughby Ave
Slower rents. Higher costs. A weaker sale. See how the deal holds up when the assumptions change.
Try a scenario
+5.4%
5-year annualized return, including sale
Rents grow 3% a year. The sale assumes a 6.59% income yield.
14% finish at break-even or worse.
Saved sample. The four cases are separate checks; the chart shows the full Monte Carlo results.
These are the central assumptions; simulated years vary around them. A higher resale yield means a lower sale price for the same income.
Starting-year cash flow is $11,196 after operating costs, reserve and loan payments. This stays separate from the five-year returns.
Rent growth is 3% per year. The sale uses a 6.59% exit cap. Annualized return: +5.4%.
Each cell is a saved five-year annualized return. Rent growth changes across columns; resale cap changes down rows. The outlined cell is the base case. Vacancy and expense growth stay fixed in this grid.
The financial model is only part of the story. These specialists connect the income, the building and the neighborhood, so an attractive return doesn’t hide an expensive problem.

The specialists, financial model and downside tests produce a first memo for each deal with sufficient data.
50 analyses × 141 sec reference run
Check the evidence, supply missing documents and adjust the assumptions before pursuing a deal.
Inspections, lender terms and final diligence still follow.
An illustrative workflow: 5–30 minutes to screen each listing, plus 4–8 hours to preliminarily underwrite about 1 in 10. These are planning assumptions drawn from published workflow estimates, not a measured average across our customers. See the underwriting time guide and A.CRE’s screening discussion.
PropHunt’s estimate multiplies one observed 141-second live analysis by the number of listings, as if run sequentially. Actual processing time varies. It excludes your document collection, review and final diligence; it is not a claim that every manual hour disappears. One credit runs one analysis. The displayed plan is the smallest whose monthly credits cover the selected volume.
One credit runs one search or one full analysis. Top-ups from $45, never expire.
