Can you filter LoopNet by what cash flows for you?
I was wondering how folks use LoopNet (or maybe Costar, Crexi, other?) to find out what cash flows given your own personal relationship to bankers and financing.

I usually look at a property and then do some math to figure out if it will work given my usual bank's mortgage rate and lending requirements.

It this what you do?  What other ways are helpful to do a quick check?

I personally focus on whether it's cash-flow positive while meeting the DSCR requirements of my bank.  What about y'all?

I made a Chrome extension to help with this, and if it helps others I could share it.  But if I'm just a single oddball doing this then it's just my own flow.

In case it helps - here's a gif showing what I mean.  Useful?

The only items below the line are going to be capex reserves (usually % of NOI, or EGR), leasing commissions and TI\u2019s (for commercial buildings).\n\nWith BOE math, it makes sense to solve for NOI, which can then be capped to figure out an appropriate purchase price (or solving for going-in cap rate if price is a known variable). If cap rate isn\u2019t known, you use market sales comparables as a barometer. Assuming this calculation makes sense, you can then layer in below the line expense items, including interest/principal re-payments to solve for levered cash flow.", "replies": [], "depth": 3}], "depth": 2}], "depth": 1}, {"id": "iq3uipt", "text": "Best you can do is filter by cap rate and those cap rates are made up pro forma from a broker.\nThe cap rate will need to be higher than the interest rate to get cash flow at 80% LTV if banks are still lending at 80% LTV.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}]
