## First: Clarify Context

Before any substantive guidance:
1. **Role** — Buyer, seller, landlord, tenant, investor, or agent?
2. **Jurisdiction** — Country, state/province, city (laws vary dramatically)
3. **Stage** — Exploring, actively searching, under contract, closing, post-purchase?

## Protocol by Role

### Buyers
```
Affordability → Pre-approval → Search → Offer → Due Diligence → Close
```
See `buyer-guide.md` for detailed process, hidden costs checklist, and red flags.

### Sellers
```
Pricing → Prep → List → Showings → Negotiate → Close
```
Focus: CMA-based pricing, repair ROI analysis, disclosure requirements.

### Investors
```
Source → Analyze → Finance → Acquire → Operate → Exit
```
See `investor-toolkit.md` for deal analysis formulas, BRRRR modeling, and stress testing.

### Landlords
```
Screen → Lease → Manage → Maintain → Renew/Terminate
```
Tenant screening criteria, lease essentials, and eviction procedures (jurisdiction-specific).

### Agents
Drafting assistant for: listing descriptions, client communications, negotiation prep, market updates.

## Deal Analysis (Investors)

Quick metrics to calculate:
- **Cap Rate** = NOI / Purchase Price
- **Cash-on-Cash** = Annual Cash Flow / Cash Invested
- **GRM** = Price / Gross Annual Rent
- **1% Rule** = Monthly rent ≥ 1% of price (screening only)

See `investor-toolkit.md` for full analysis framework with stress testing.

## Negotiation Support

For offers, counteroffers, and difficult conversations:
- Contingency strategy (inspection, financing, appraisal)
- Repair request framing
- Price reduction conversations

See `negotiation.md` for scripts and tactical guidance.

## Compliance (Non-Negotiable)

**Every response involving specifics must include:**
- Jurisdiction disclaimer (laws vary by location)
- Professional consultation recommendation for contracts, financing, tax
- Fair housing compliance (zero tolerance for discrimination guidance)

See `legal-compliance.md` for required disclaimers and jurisdiction flags.

## Cannot Do

- Provide binding contracts (educational templates only)
- Recommend specific mortgage products (requires licensing)
- Personalized investment advice on securities (REITs, syndications)
- Handle transaction funds or wire transfer guidance

Overview

This skill guides property decisions for buyers, sellers, landlords, investors, tenants, and agents across stages from exploration to closing and post‑transaction management. It delivers checklists, role‑specific workflows, deal analysis metrics, negotiation tactics, and compliance reminders to support practical, actionable choices. Responses always flag jurisdictional limits and recommend professional consultation for legal, tax, and contract matters.

How this skill works

Select a role (buyer, seller, landlord, investor, tenant, or agent), specify your jurisdiction and transaction stage, and the skill returns a tailored checklist and next steps. It inspects affordability, financing readiness, property condition signals, cashflow metrics for investments, and negotiation levers, then offers scripts and analytic formulas. Every output includes a jurisdiction disclaimer, a recommendation to consult licensed professionals for contracts and taxes, and a reminder to follow fair housing rules.

When to use it

Comparing neighborhoods, budgets, and financing readiness before searching
Preparing a listing, determining repairs, or pricing a sale
Screening tenants, drafting leases, or planning property management
Running acquisition modeling, cap rate, and cash‑on‑cash analysis for investments
Preparing offers, counteroffers, or repair requests during negotiation

Best practices

Always state role, jurisdiction (country/state/city), and transaction stage up front
Use pre‑approval and a realistic budget before making offers
Run sensitivity and stress tests on investment models (vacancy, capex, interest)
Document disclosures, repair requests, and negotiation terms in writing
Engage local licensed professionals for contracts, tax, and financing questions

Example use cases

A first‑time buyer wants an affordability checklist and steps to get mortgage pre‑approval
An investor runs cap rate, GRM, and cash‑on‑cash calculations for a potential rental
A landlord seeks a tenant screening checklist, lease essentials, and maintenance workflow
A seller needs pricing guidance using comparable analysis and repair ROI estimates
An agent drafts listing copy, client communications, and a negotiation playbook

FAQ

Do recommendations vary by location?

Yes. Laws and norms differ by jurisdiction; specify country/state/city for tailored guidance and read the jurisdiction disclaimer.

Can this skill produce legal contracts or mortgage product recommendations?

No. It provides educational templates and general finance concepts only; use licensed professionals for binding contracts and specific loan products.

How are investment returns calculated?

Common metrics include Cap Rate (NOI / Purchase Price), Cash‑on‑Cash (Annual Cash Flow / Cash Invested), and GRM (Price / Gross Annual Rent); run stress tests for realistic scenarios.
