What people ask before they sign up

CapScout is an AI acquisition platform for investors and the firms that help them buy residential investment property on the open market. You search a market by the return you need, such as a minimum cap rate, rent-to-price ratio or ARV (after-repair value) ratio, and only listings that clear it come back. ScoutScore triages every result, and ScoutSense underwrites the listings you pick (deal narrative, risks, comps and a verdict), each with a negotiation target worked out from the listing’s own leverage, for Buy & Hold and Fix & Flip.

Set your floor and search a market. ScoutScore bands each result Strong, Fair or Weak. Run ScoutSense on the ones you like for a full underwrite and a negotiation target, then model it, save the search as an alert, or send the report and an offer letter.

ScoutScore is the free Strong, Fair or Weak band CapScout puts on every search result, with one ScoutSense sentence on what the cap rate doesn’t show. Open a result for a free quick view. The 0–100 AI Investment Score comes only from a full ScoutSense underwrite.

Two groups. Investors buying for their own account use the free tier, credit packs or a monthly plan. Agents, brokerages and property managers who help investor clients buy use the Team plan ($129 a month for 3 seats), which adds white-label reports and a CRM.

Single-family and multi-family listings in US markets, for Buy & Hold and Fix & Flip.

Yes. Each underwrite opens a thread where you can ask about the verdict, test a lower offer or plan the negotiation; answers come from that deal’s analysis with the numbers recalculated. The first 5 questions on each deal are free, and question packs cover more.

Each ScoutSense analysis states a confidence level with its reasons, such as the comp count and correlation and how old the listing and tax data are. Treat it as an underwriting opinion: it speeds up your due diligence and doesn’t replace it.

Live listings and comparable sales, with price-per-square-foot outliers trimmed from the sales comps, plus HUD fair-market rents, Census medians, FEMA flood zones and FHFA price trends. Each analysis names its sources and flags thin data.

From nearby comparable rentals. Each estimate comes with a range and is checked against HUD fair-market rents and Census medians, and the report’s confidence drops when they disagree.

Free to start with 500 credits. Credit packs are $19.99 for 1,500 or $39.99 for 3,500 and never expire; monthly plans are $29.99 for 3,000 or $49.99 for 6,000. The Team plan is $129 a month for 3 seats.

No. You get 500 credits when you create an account. A card is only needed to buy credits or start the Team trial.

The quick view on any result, the ScoutScore band and its one-line ScoutSense read on every result, ScoutSense search guidance and your first 5 follow-up questions on every deal are always free. Credits are used for each new home that appears in your search results (charged once per home, never again), for a full ScoutSense underwrite (a re-run with a different lens costs less), and for each new alert match from a saved search.

No. A home’s cap rate arrives with it in your results, and each new home uses credits once. After that, its quick view and ScoutScore band cost nothing more. Your 500 signup credits cover your first searches.

One-time credit packs never expire. Monthly subscription credits are issued each billing cycle and expire at the end of that cycle if unused. The 500 credits from your free signup do not expire.

Yes, with no contract or cancellation fee. If you cancel, you keep the credits already issued for that cycle. Credits do not roll over to the next cycle.

Team is $129 a month for 3 seats and 6,000 pooled credits; extra seats are $39 a month with 2,000 credits each. It adds white-label reports, a deal room per client, a team pipeline with roles and analytics, and a CRM that holds each client’s investor profile, buy box, calls, email and follow-ups. ScoutSense briefs and drafts in the CRM use no credits. Zoho CRM syncs both ways.

Yes, with a card on file and 2,000 credits to use. Nothing is charged until it ends. The 7-day trial covers 3 seats. After it, Team is $129 a month for 3 seats plus $39 for each extra seat. Adding a seat during the trial ends it and starts billing that day.

Only if you want it to. Most teams keep the CRM their leads live in and use CapScout for the investor side of each client: Zoho CRM syncs both ways, and other CRMs connect through Zapier, signed webhooks, the API or a CSV. A team without a CRM can import its book and run it in CapScout.
