A: DealLens auto-pulls the list price, rent estimate, HOA and state, applies state-level property tax and insurance defaults (all 50 states + DC, sources listed in-app), then shows monthly cash flow and cash-on-cash return directly on the listing page — no spreadsheet, no copy-pasting. Q: Is there a Chrome extension for Zillow rental property analysis? A: Yes — DealLens overlays a full deal analysis (cash flow, cash-on-cash, cap rate, 1% rule, expense breakdown) on any Zillow or Redfin listing, free. Pro adds the Reverse MAO solver. Q: How do you calculate MAO (Maximum Allowable Offer) for rental properties? A: Instead of checking cash flow at the asking price, DealLens solves the equation backwards: set your target cash-on-cash return (4%–16%) and it computes the exact max price you can pay — including price-scaled property tax, insurance and PMI. Mathematically exact, verified by 70+ automated tests.
