How Investment Score 2.0 is calculated

Investment Score 2.0 is a weighted composite — 22% diversification, 22% portfolio stability, 22% cash-flow yield, 18% leverage health, and 16% appreciation strength. It powers the grade on this page and is consistent with the per-deal scores shown in Rental ROI, Cap Rate, BRRRR, and Airbnb calculators.
