# Understand the property opportunity score

Use the property score as an aid to comparison, alongside the underlying numbers and risks.

## Read the score details

Open the available score detail and review the factors displayed for that property. Look for the assumptions behind income, financing, and cash flow. A summary score cannot explain every operational or transaction risk.

## Compare on the same basis

Use consistent expense treatment, financing assumptions, and rental strategy when comparing properties. A score based on optimistic projected income should not be treated as equivalent to a result supported by operating records.

## Know the limits

The score is not an appraisal, credit score, lender decision, suitability determination, or guarantee of investment performance. STR Advisory does not publish an assumed weighting formula here. Use the displayed factors and ask the team to explain an unclear result before acting.

Property and financing outputs are preliminary estimates, not an approval, rate lock, commitment, or guarantee. Eligibility and final terms require professional review and lender underwriting.
