# Metro Deal Report

> Publication for real-estate investors — market data, off-market playbooks, BRRRR/flip/wholesale strategy, and honest tool reviews. Numbers-forward, operator-minded, not a beginner's guide site.

Metro Deal Report (MDR) publishes editorial and data-driven content for wholesalers, flippers, BRRRR operators, landlords, and the agents and lenders who serve them. We use live Zillow market data (ZHVI, ZORI, sale/list ratios, DOM, inventory) to build a per-city MDR Investor Score combining rent yield, buyer-market discount, motivated-seller proxies, and days-on-market. Each strategy × city combination gets its own analysis page with the same data viewed through the operator's lens for that strategy.

## Core data products

## Data sources & methodology

Market data is pulled from Zillow's regional rollups (home values index, observed rent index, listing/sale statistics) refreshed monthly. The MDR Investor Score weights rent yield (40%), buyer-market discount via sale-to-list ratio (30%), motivated-seller proxy via percent of homes sold below list (20%), and days-on-market (10%).

Per-strategy fit scores use different weightings: wholesaling weights motivated-seller signals + DOM; flipping weights YoY appreciation + above-list closings; BRRRR weights gross rent yield + price stability.
