- Batch rent estimates on Pro.
- Branded rent reports.

**Cons**

- Rental cash flow is calculated in a Deal Worksheet on Pro; no flip analysis was found.

## Cylier

*Deals delivered, already underwritten* · This is our product.

**Best for:** investors who want listings in their buy box found and analyzed for rental and flip returns.

Cylier is a US investment-property analysis service that underwrites active listings for rental and flip returns, grades neighborhoods A–F by census tract, and sends investors matching deals with the numbers already run.

You set a buy box: zip codes, maximum price, minimum ROI, beds, baths, property type and neighborhood grades to skip. Matching listings arrive by email with their ROI, and each property card shows rent, cash flow and cap rate. Each property report is pre-filled from rent comps, sale comps, property tax and a rehab estimate. Sliders for price, down payment, rate, rent, ARV, rehab and loan terms update the rental and flip returns side by side. Plans are Free, Basic $9.99, Premium $29.99 and Professional $79.99 a month, with a 7-day trial on paid plans. A single report can be bought with a free account.

**Pros**

- Sends listings that match your buy box with ROI calculated, so you aren’t entering each property by hand.
- A–F neighborhood grades by census tract, colored on the listings map (Basic and above) and on the comp map in every report, including shared reports.
- Reports arrive pre-filled from comps, property tax and a rehab estimate, and you adjust them with sliders. Re-running your own report with new assumptions is included.
- Analyzes any US address on every plan, and whole CSV lists of up to 5,000 addresses on Professional.

**Cons**

- Owner contact data, skip tracing and direct mail are not yet available.
- Short-term rental (Airbnb) analysis is not yet available.
- BRRRR analysis, multi-year projections and an itemized rehab budget are not yet part of the property report; BRRRR has a separate calculator.
- Instant alerts start at the Premium plan; Free and Basic get a weekly email.
- Covers US properties; no international listings.

## Which one to choose

Choose Rentometer if you want a rent estimate on its own, summarized as median and 25th–75th percentile rents with the sample size. Choose Cylier if you want those rent comps used to run the deal: cash flow, cap rate and flip profit, alongside sale comps, property tax and a rehab estimate.
