DealForge

DealForge — Professional Investment Deal Analysis DealForge is a web-based underwriting platform designed to help investors analyze acquisition opportunities quickly and consistently. It was originally built as a personal tool. I’ve spent years around investment real estate and small business acquisitions, and I’ve always enjoyed modeling deals and testing scenarios to see whether an opportunity actually works financially. Like most investors, I relied heavily on spreadsheets. But over time those spreadsheets became messy and difficult to maintain — formulas breaking, assumptions changing between deals, and constant copying and rebuilding of models. So I started building a tool to standardize the process. What began as a simple personal calculator gradually evolved into DealForge — a platform that brings multiple types of investment analysis into a single workflow. DealForge can currently model • Real estate investments (single-family, multifamily, rental property) • Small business acquisitions • Hybrid deals (business + property together) • Ground-up development projects Key features • Cash flow analysis • Cap rate & cash-on-cash return calculations • DSCR analysis • Loan amortization modeling • Multi-year projections • Scenario comparison tools • Risk diagnostics and stress testing • Deal dashboards and visual metrics Instead of building a new spreadsheet for every opportunity, investors can enter the key deal inputs and generate a structured underwriting report in minutes. Who it’s for DealForge is built for: • real estate investors • acquisition entrepreneurs • small business buyers • independent dealmakers Anyone who wants to quickly test whether an investment opportunity works financially before going deeper into due diligence. Current status DealForge is still early and actively evolving. I’m sharing it now to gather feedback from people who analyze deals regularly. If you try it and have ideas, critiques, or feature suggestions, I’d genuinely love to hear them.
