Sage isn't just here to answer questions about how to use Privy — it can act as your deal analysis co-pilot. Give it a property's numbers, and Sage will walk through whether it looks like a good flip, rental, or wholesale opportunity, show its math, and tell you what to watch for.

Before asking Sage to analyze a property, open the property's CMA in Privy and copy two things.

First, copy the top section — the price, address, and property details (beds, baths, square footage, lot size, year built).

Then scroll down to the comps section and copy the comps you want to use. Always include the sold comps — these are essential to the analysis. You can also add active or under-contract comps if you think they'll add useful context, but sold comps are what a real ARV estimate is built on.

Here's a short video just in case.

Paste both into your message to Sage.

Ask Sage directly — something like "Is this a good fix and flip deal?" or "Will this property cash flow?" or "Would this work as a wholesale deal?" Paste in the property details and comps you copied.

Sage will ask one quick question first: do you want a fast gut-check, or do you want to dig into the full numbers? Answer honestly based on where you are with the deal — this tells Sage how deep to go.

Sage adjusts its analysis depending on where you are in the deal process. It's worth knowing these three stages, because the confidence of the answer changes at each one.

Just found the property (screening). This is a fast pass to decide if it's worth pursuing. Sage will estimate the ARV from your comps, apply standard underwriting math (like the 70% rule for flips), and give you a directional read — worth pursuing, thin, or a pass. If you don't have a rehab estimate yet, Sage will use a rough national ballpark just to sanity-check the math, clearly labeled as a placeholder, not a real budget.

These ballpark ranges come from three general rehab tiers — cosmetic/light, standard/medium, and heavy/full gut — adjusted up or down based on whether the property is in a higher-cost or lower-cost market. They're a starting point for a quick gut-check, not a real budget. The closer you get to making an offer, the more these should be replaced with real contractor bids.

You've seen the property (showing/walkthrough). If you've walked the property or can describe its actual condition, share that with Sage. It will use what you actually saw — roof age, foundation issues, kitchen and bath condition — to sharpen the rehab estimate instead of relying on a generic placeholder.

You're preparing to make an offer (under contract). At this stage, rough numbers aren't good enough. Sage will ask for real contractor bids rather than estimate for you, and if you don't have bids yet, it will tell you to get 2-3 before finalizing anything. This is the point where a wrong guess can cost real money, so Sage shifts from fast estimates to your actual figures.

Sage pays attention to a few things that matter for an accurate analysis:

Renovated comps vs. as-is comps. Some comps in Privy's CMA show two prices — a lower purchase price followed by a higher resale price. These represent real renovated outcomes and are treated differently from comps with just one sale price.

Using the full comp set. Sage will use all the qualifying comps you provide, not just the highest ones, and will tell you if it's excluding a comp and why (for example, if it's an outlier or has sat on the market a long time).

Outliers. If one comp is priced well above the rest, Sage treats it as a best-case ceiling, not a typical result.

Sage isn't a licensed financial advisor, and it won't tell you a deal definitely will or won't work — that call is always yours. What it will do is show you the math clearly, flag when information is missing, and help you think through the numbers the way an experienced investor would.
