Deed & Yield

Underwritten daily. Tracked in public.

Short-term-rental deals with the honest cash-on-cash math — and a public track record you can check.

Not hype. Not rosy projections. We scan the market daily, underwrite each deal with conservative, fully-disclosed assumptions, feature only the ones that actually cash-flow, and publish our misses. Built for serious buyers, not dreamers.

The problem with deal newsletters

Most STR deal emails hand you a pretty cabin and an optimistic number you have to mentally discount. The assumptions behind that number are never shown — closing costs, furnishing, realistic occupancy, taxes, management. Serious buyers don't need more dopamine. They need believable underwriting, fast, so they can triage and act with conviction.

How it works

  1. 1

    Scan broadly

    We scan listings across many markets, nationwide — breadth is what supplies enough real deals for a daily brief.

  2. 2

    Underwrite conservatively

    Every deal runs through the same transparent model: 3% closing, a real furnishing budget, realistic tax + 20% management. The assumptions are always shown.

  3. 3

    Only cash-flow-positive

    We feature a deal only if it cash-flows under those conservative numbers. Fewer, believable deals — not a flood of maybes.

  4. 4

    Track it publicly

    Every pick is graded later — sold, price-cut, underperformed, regulation changed — including the calls we got wrong. That public record is the whole point.

A real deal, with the full math

Here's an actual pick from a recent run — every number shown, every assumption disclosed.

Why we'd show this one: it clears our bar — cash-flow-positive ($569/mo) on conservative, fully-disclosed assumptions. What would make it fail: a stricter STR permit, weaker winter occupancy, or higher rates.

Compare that to the typical curated-deal email, which quotes ~30% cash-on-cash with no assumptions disclosed. We'd rather show you a believable 9.6% you can check.

We grade our own calls

Every featured deal preserves the projection and assumptions we originally published, then we track how it actually played out — wins and misses. Nobody else in this space shows you where they were wrong. That accountability record is something a listing browser can't copy overnight.
