## What it does

The skill equips coding agents with formulas and structured templates for property valuation. It covers three valuation frameworks: comparative market analysis (CMA) based on recent neighborhood sales, the income approach via capitalization rates, and the cost approach for construction or insurance needs.

Investment workflows calculate net operating income (NOI) after deducting vacancy reserves and operating expenses. Included templates calculate debt service coverage ratio (DSCR), cash-on-cash returns, gross rent multipliers, and five-year equity projections. An amortization formula computes mortgage payments.

Because the templates use gross living area in square feet and standard US operational expense ratios, regional taxes and non-standard loan terms require explicit overrides in your prompt.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/real-estate-analyzer/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add travisjneuman/.claude --skill real-estate-analyzer -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/real-estate-analyzer/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/travisjneuman/.claude --path skills/real-estate-analyzer
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/real-estate-analyzer/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**

```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/travisjneuman/.claude/tree/HEAD/skills/real-estate-analyzer/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- calculate net operating income (NOI) accounting for vacancy and operating costs
- compare residential listings using a structured CMA adjustment table
- evaluate rental cash flows and cash-on-cash investment returns
- project multi-year equity accumulation and debt service coverage

## Example prompts
- Run a cash-on-cash return calculation for a duplex priced at $320,000 with 20% down and $2,800 monthly rent.
- Build a CMA comparison table for a subject single-family home using three comps sold within the last 6 months.
- Calculate the monthly mortgage payment and first-year interest on a 30-year fixed loan at 6.8%.

# Real Estate Analyzer

Comprehensive frameworks for property valuation, investment analysis, and market assessment.

## Property Valuation Methods

### Comparable Sales Approach (CMA)

The most common method for residential properties. Relies on recent sales of similar properties.

```
COMPARABLE SELECTION CRITERIA:
1. Location: Same neighborhood or within 1 mile
2. Recency: Sold within last 6 months (3 months preferred)
3. Size: Within 10-20% of subject GLA (gross living area)
4. Condition: Similar age, updates, and maintenance
5. Style: Same property type (SFH, condo, townhome)
6. Lot: Similar lot size and features

ADJUSTMENT CATEGORIES:
+ / - Location premium/discount
+ / - Size differential ($X per sq ft)
+ / - Bedroom/bathroom count
+ / - Garage, pool, upgrades
+ / - Lot size difference
+ / - Condition adjustment
= Adjusted Comparable Value
```

### Income Approach (Cap Rate)

Primary method for commercial and multi-family investment properties.

```
NET OPERATING INCOME (NOI):
Gross Potential Rent (GPR)
+ Other Income (laundry, parking, storage)
= Gross Potential Income (GPI)
- Vacancy & Credit Loss (typically 5-10%)
