What PropHunt checks on a Boston deal
Each property is scored across investment math (cap rate, NOI, debt yield), market comparables, risk/return (DSCR stress + Monte Carlo IRR), demographics and demand, location trajectory, construction scope, and live market signals — off 50+ data sources including FEMA flood, USGS seismic, FBI crime, Census & BLS, and city open-data permits. When a signal is missing for Boston, the agent abstains instead of guessing.
