A PropertyBite report delivers six sections of structured parcel intelligence — each one answering a specific question that serious investors ask before making an offer. Here's exactly what's in each section, what it means, and how to use it.

Report overview: the one-line verdict

Every PropertyBite report opens with a one-line verdict: BUY, PROCEED WITH CAUTION, or PASS — followed by the single most important supporting fact. "BUY — Mixed-use Path C delivers 39% margin at $198.5K bid. Low risk profile." This is the answer. Everything below it is the evidence.

The deal score (1–10) provides granularity within the verdict. An 8.4 BUY is a stronger deal than a 7.1 BUY — both are worth pursuing, but the former has stronger economics and a cleaner risk profile. The score lets you compare and prioritize across multiple reports in your pipeline.

Section 1: Parcel data and site summary

The parcel data section establishes the physical and legal facts of the site:

This section answers: what is this parcel, and what are the physical facts I need to know before any financial modeling?

Section 2: HBU analysis — three paths

The HBU section presents three development paths, each evaluated against the four HBU tests:

Path A — Residential: Single-family subdivision, townhomes, or multifamily depending on zone capacity. Shows permitted density, estimated unit count, and exit value range from comparable closed sales.

Path B — Commercial: Retail, office, or QSR outparcel depending on traffic, zoning, and site geometry. Shows permitted use types, estimated buildable SF, and cap rate applied to projected NOI for exit value.

Path C — Mixed-use: Ground-floor commercial with residential above. Required evaluation for NC, MX-1, CC, and TOD-overlaid parcels. Shows the blended exit value from both components.

Each path includes a feasibility verdict (viable / not viable) and the financial summary. The winning path — the HBU — is highlighted with a green indicator.

Section 3: Financial model and Max Bid Price

The financial section shows the full model for the HBU scenario:

The Max Bid Price is displayed prominently at the top of this section — it's the number you take into your negotiation as your ceiling.

Section 4: Risk score and flags

The risk section presents the overall risk tier (Low / Medium / High) and the specific flags identified across all 12 factors:

Each flag includes: what it is, why it matters, and what action it warrants (investigate before LOI, price into your offer, include as a contingency, or walk away). This section directly informs how you structure your LOI and due diligence checklist.

Section 5: Sensitivity table

The sensitivity table shows how the Max Bid Price changes under adverse scenarios:

ScenarioExit Value ChangeCost ChangeMax Bid Price
Base case$198,500
Exit value −10%−$72,000$126,500
Costs +10%+$43,600$154,900
Combined adverse−$72,000+$43,600$82,900

The sensitivity table shows you how resilient the deal is to market uncertainty. A deal where the Max Bid Price remains positive even in the combined adverse scenario is more robust than one that only works at base case.

Section 6: Action plan

The action plan translates the analysis into a prioritized to-do list — specific, sequenced steps based on the deal's specific characteristics:

The action plan is what converts the report from an information document into a transaction guide. Follow it sequentially, and you're never guessing what to do next.
