Basis vs. Rehab Valuator: Underwriting a Deal vs. Running the Rehab

Rehab Valuator's budgets, scope-of-work sheets, and funding presentations compared against Basis's automatic scoring and AI opinion - sourced from Rehab Valuator's own pricing page.

Rehab Valuator is built specifically for flippers and wholesalers who need lender-facing documents: rehab budgets, scope-of-work sheets, and funding presentations, alongside deal analysis for wholesale, flip, rent, BRRRR, and new-development strategies. It's the closest direct comparison to Basis's own strategy coverage. Here's how they differ, priced and sourced from Rehab Valuator's own pricing page as of September 2026. Pricing changes, so verify current numbers before you buy.

Pricing, Side by Side

TierRehab ValuatorBasis
FreeLite (free forever): deal-analysis calculators for all strategies, no owner/property data, no comps, 1 userFree, $0/mo: 6 analyzer runs/mo (auto-pulled data), 15 AI memos/mo, 5 owner lookups/mo
Mid tierPremium, $49/mo ($397/yr): adds owner/property data, comps, ARV calculator, rehab budgets, project management, marketing flyers, funding proposalsSolo, $49/mo: 40 analyzer runs/mo (or 8 Deal Finder searches), 30 owner lookups/mo, scored lead finding
Top tierPro, $99/mo ($897/yr): same features, up to 6 usersPro, $99/mo: 90 runs/mo (or 18 searches), 3 team seats, scheduled Deal Finder runs, SMS alerts

Both tools land at the same $49 and $99 price points, which makes this an unusually direct comparison. Rehab Valuator's free Lite tier never expires but excludes all property data - you supply every number yourself. Basis's free tier includes 6 fully-sourced runs a month instead.

What Each Tool Actually Does

Rehab Valuator's strength is what happens after you've decided to do the deal: dynamic rehab budgets, scope-of-work sheets, budget-vs-actual tracking through the project, and investor-facing funding presentations for pitching private lenders. It covers the same four exit strategies Basis does (plus new development), but you enter the numbers - there's no automatic scoring or AI opinion layered on top. Basis's strength is upstream of that: value, rent, comps, and owner/distress data pull automatically into a run, and the property gets a 0-100 deal/confidence/risk score with an AI-written memo (ZIP grade, per-field sanity checks, risk list) before you've committed to it. Basis also sources new leads via Deal Finder; Rehab Valuator analyzes deals you already have.

Where Rehab Valuator Is the Better Fit

  • You're already in a rehab and need budget tracking, scope-of-work sheets, and budget-vs-actual reporting through the project.
  • You need polished, lender-facing funding presentations to pitch private money on a specific deal.
  • You want a free tier with no expiration for running your own numbers with no property data attached.
  • Your team is larger: Pro fits up to 6 users at $99/mo versus Basis Pro's 3 seats.

Where Basis Is the Better Fit

  • You want value, rent, comps, and owner data pulled automatically rather than entered by hand.
  • You want a scored verdict and an AI second opinion before deciding whether a deal is worth budgeting out at all.
  • You want lead sourcing (Deal Finder, Deep scan) built into the same product as the analysis.

The Honest Take

These sit on either side of the same decision. Basis is built for the moment before you commit: is this deal worth pursuing, scored and sourced automatically. Rehab Valuator is built for the moment after: now that you're doing it, here's the budget, the scope of work, and the pitch deck for your lender. A flipper running a real pipeline of active rehabs may genuinely want both.
