When the deal misses
Don’t stop at “no.”
Test the supported levers.
DealCooker can test a lower purchase price and, when applicable, a larger down payment against the active strategy’s workout logic. It does not optimize interest rates, points, loan products, or every financing term.
Calculation methodology
How DealCooker models this strategy
DealCooker multiplies rentable rooms by weekly rate and weeks per month, applies occupancy, then subtracts modeled platform, management, turnover, utility, maintenance, reserve, fixed, and financing costs.

What investors ask about Room-by-Room / PadSplit
How do you calculate room-by-room rental income?
Start with rentable rooms multiplied by the weekly room rate and weeks per month, then apply realistic occupancy before subtracting fees and owner-paid costs.
Why include utilities in a room rental analysis?
Room-by-room pricing may include utilities, so power, water, internet, gas, lawn care, and other shared costs can materially reduce net income.
Is PadSplit income the same as collected room rent?
No. Platform fees, booking fees, vacancies, missed collections, turns, maintenance, and utilities can reduce what the owner receives.
What must be verified before operating room-by-room housing?
Confirm zoning, occupancy limits, licensing, building and fire codes, insurance, lender restrictions, leases, platform rules, and local law.
