Credit where due: DealCheck made deal analysis accessible. Punch in a property and it computes cap rate, cash-on-cash, ROE, LTV and break-even ratios, pulls sales comps, and exports polished PDF reports — including a white-label option agents and wholesalers genuinely use. As a per-deal calculator it is mature and fast.
The gap: a deal is not a strategy
- One deal vs. the whole book. DealCheck analyzes properties one at a time. HypeCity's Portfolio Command Center holds the entire portfolio — blended LTV, portfolio DSCR, cash-weighted IRR — and stress-tests all of it at once: what does +200bp and a 10% rent drop do to every property you own?
- Same verdict for everyone vs. persona-weighted. DealCheck's numbers are investor-agnostic. HypeCity's 19-variable verdict weights the same property differently for a yield hunter than for a family relocating — because the right answer genuinely differs.
- The property vs. the neighborhood. A great deal in a deteriorating neighborhood is a bad deal. HypeCity scores 24,051 neighborhoods worldwide — including geopolitical and climate risk — and links each tracked property to its live Hype Score.

Who should pick which
Pick DealCheck if you evaluate a high volume of US deals and your deliverable is a branded per-deal PDF for a client or partner.
Pick HypeCity if you are deploying your own capital, possibly across borders, and the questions that keep you up are portfolio-level: which market, which property next, what breaks first in a downturn, and what the bank will ask for.
