How houseflipr / AI works
Deal scoring, AI photo analysis, real Zillow data, exit strategy comparison, flood zone risk, and lender-ready reports — all from one search.
The full analysis flow from first search to final offer
Search any US city — we score every active Zillow listing for flip potential. Or enter a specific address you already know about. You can also use Bulk CSV Import to score dozens of addresses at once.
Drop walkthrough photos into the Photo Analysis tab. Claude AI identifies repair needs room by room — roof condition, Federal Pacific panels, foundation cracks, kitchen age — and auto-fills your repair cost estimate.
Hit Analyze. Our 3-component scoring engine instantly calculates Opportunity Score, Profit Score, and Risk Score — then combines them into a FlipScore with a BUY / MAYBE / PASS verdict.
FEMA flood zone loads and adjusts the Risk Score. US Census neighborhood data (vacancy rate, owner-occupancy, income) enriches the Opportunity Score. Zestimate validates your ARV when available.
The Exit Strategy Optimizer shows Flip, BRRRR, and Rental side-by-side with actual numbers — so you always pick the strategy that maximizes your return given today's rates.
The "What Would You Offer?" guide gives you an opening offer, max offer, and walk-away price. Generate a shareable link for your lender or partner, or export a branded PDF deal memo.
No black boxes. Here's exactly what each tool does and why it matters.
Opportunity · Profit · Risk
FlipScore = (Opportunity × 40%) + (Profit × 35%) + (100−Risk × 25%). Answers the real question: "What is the probability this property produces the target profit after risk?"
Upload photos → AI reads the damage
Upload walkthrough photos and AI identifies repair needs by room. Federal Pacific panels, roof condition, foundation cracks, kitchen age — all detected and converted to cost ranges. Findings update the FlipScore's Risk component automatically.
Real Zillow listings, scored in real time
Interactive map showing active Zillow listings near you, color-coded by flip score. Green = strong deal, yellow = proceed with caution, red = avoid. Every property is pre-scored before it appears on the map.
Real government data, not estimates
Every analysis automatically fetches US Census ACS 5-Year data for the property's census tract. This is the same dataset used by institutional investors, lenders, and city planners to evaluate neighborhood fundamentals.
Catch the deal killers before you offer
Every analysis automatically checks the FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer. Flood zone AE properties require flood insurance ($1,500–3,000/yr), narrow the buyer pool, and can block conventional financing.
Search, ask, and analyze — all in one chat
A Claude-powered expert advisor built into every page. Search for flip opportunities by city, run deal math, compare strategies, or ask anything about flipping. Searches return real Zillow listings with flip scores.
Flip vs. BRRRR vs. Rental, side by side
Every deal shows all three exit strategies simultaneously — Flip Now, BRRRR (Buy-Rehab-Rent-Refinance-Repeat), and Hold as Rental — with actual numbers for each. Always know which strategy maximizes your return.
