What We're Building
YieldScope is a web application that gives real estate investors instant ROI analysis on any property. Users enter the key numbers (purchase price, rent, renovation costs, operating expenses) and get back gross/net yields, cash-on-cash return, payback period, and an AI-generated executive summary — then export it all as a clean PDF report.
