REIzer AI answers now read like a report

Comparisons open with the winner and the margin, and general questions open with a one-line answer, then the figures, the options and what would change it.

Announcements AI the answer first

When you asked REIzer AI to compare two deals or weigh two ideas, the answer came back as paragraphs and a plain table, and you had to read all of it to find the verdict. Answers are now laid out like a report: the conclusion first, then what supports it.

Comparisons lead with the winner

When REIzer compares deals or strategies, the card opens with the result and the margin in one line. In the example from our last post, a $600,000 fourplex with 50 percent down at 7.5 percent against a $300,000 duplex bought for cash, the card reads "Cash duplex, by $136 a month" and notes that it wins on every measure.

Below that, each deal is a column and each row is one measure: the score, monthly cash flow, cash-on-cash return, debt coverage and the cash you put in. The best value in each row is marked and losses are shown in red. An all-cash deal reads "No loan" in the debt-coverage row instead of a blank. The cash you put in is there for context and is never marked as a winner. One line underneath says why. Here, the fourplex's loan costs 8.39 percent of its balance a year, principal included, while the property earns 7.85 percent on its price, so borrowing lowers its return.

When neither option makes money, the card does not crown a winner. It says which one comes closest and that neither works as entered. With five or more deals, it becomes a ranked list.

This applies to every comparison REIzer makes:

  • deals you describe in a chat
  • a head-to-head of strategies
  • the best use of a property
  • saved deals you score again
  • a recap of everything in the chat

General questions get the short answer first

Questions like "Should I get a DSCR loan or a conventional loan?", "Should I hold my first rental in an LLC?" or "Is the 1% rule dead?" now come back as one card:

  • The short answer, in one line.
  • Up to three key figures.
  • The options you have, each with its trade-off, with the one that fits best marked.
  • When two ideas are weighed, a side-by-side table with a "fits you if" row. Rules of thumb are labeled as typical.
  • What would change the answer.
  • For a rule that changes, such as a lender guideline or a 1031 deadline, the month we checked it, the source, and who to confirm it with.

A quick factual question still gets a sentence or two.

What stays the same

Deal scores keep the cards they already have, and so do the calculators: sell or keep, refinance or HELOC, raising the rent, paying down the loan, and the maximum offer. REIzer does not stack an answer card on top of them. When REIzer writes a table inside an answer, the numbers now line up on the right.

The new layout is live on the website and in the REIzer AI app. If the app has not picked it up yet, close it and open it again.
