How We Score Every Deal with Precision

Discover how we use a 10-point Deal Precision Calculator™ to rate every property – filtering high-ROI investments from risky speculation.

The Problem with Emotional Investing

Far too many investors fall in love with the idea of a deal – and lose money chasing the wrong metrics.

They go with gut feel, pretty photos, or vague promises of “potential.”

But property investing should never be emotional. It should be mathematical.

Because ROI isn’t about hope – it’s about numbers.

How We Remove Guesswork with the Deal Precision Calculator™

At On The Curb, every off-market deal we release goes through our proprietary Deal Precision Calculator™. A 10-point scoring framework that filters out weak opportunities and highlights the true winners.

Each property is scored across 10 proprietary categories – aligned with investor goals, risk profile, market intelligence, and legal clarity. The full scoring breakdown is reserved exclusively for our network members.

Each metric is scored from 0–10 and visually ranked – so we know instantly whether it’s worth your time.

We remove the guesswork – so all that’s left is clarity, confidence, and control.

Why This Matters for Investors

When you’re dealing with big money, you can’t afford maybes.

Our calculator removes emotion, streamlines decision-making, and lets you compare deals objectively – side by side.

It protects you from:

• Underperforming investments
• Surprise costs and overlooked issues
• Wasting time on bad-fit properties

And it moves you toward:

• Higher-yielding assets
• Safer long-term returns
• Smarter investment decisions

• Our 6-pillar sourcing framework
• Off-market sourcing methods
• Investor-ready deal examples

The 6 Pillars of Building Buy-to-Let Wealth (Explained Simply)

The majority of buy-to-let investors in the UK struggle to scale or even break even. Why? Because they rely on emotion and guesswork. Not strategy.

Without a clear process, most landlords:

• Overpay for average deals
• Miss hidden costs and legal issues
• Fail to futureproof their rental income
• Struggle to build a reliable portfolio

At On The Curb, we’ve seen this first hand. That’s why we created a framework that removes the risk of speculation — and replaces it with structure. It’s called the OTC Buy-to-Let Wealth Builder Blueprint™.

The 6 Pillars Explained

At its core are 6 powerful proprietary pillars:

• Identity-Based Investing™: No two investors are the same. Whether you’re focused on passive income, capital growth, or BRRR potential, this pillar ensures each deal aligns with your personal strategy, risk profile, and goals.
• Area Alpha Selection™: We combine postcode-level data, market trends, and future growth signals to source only from areas with real potential. Think of this as geographic alpha — selecting areas before they become hotspots.
• Hidden Inventory Targeting™: You can’t build a high-performing portfolio from Rightmove alone. We use direct-to-seller strategies, filtered data, and sourcing methods to find off-market and high-yield opportunities other investors never see.
• Deal Precision Calculator™: Our proprietary 10-point scoring system gives each property a transparent, investor-aligned score. We assess rental yield, cash flow, demand, condition, legal clarity, and more — so you know exactly what you’re getting.
• Strategic Packaging & Matchmaking™: We package each property with clarity and confidence — then match it to investors based on fit, not hype. It’s how we ensure faster decisions and higher ROI for both sides.
• Execution Engine™: From sourcing to letting, we don’t just hand over the deal and disappear. Through our trusted network, you can access refurb, letting, furnishing, insurance, and more — so your deal moves from paper to property without the stress.

Avoiding Mistakes Starts With Having the Right Blueprint

The biggest advantage of following a proven framework? It saves you money, time, and stress.

We’ve packaged everything serious investors need to build long-term wealth into a single, FREE, 24-page Blueprint. You’ll get:

• Our full 6-pillar breakdown
• Deal analysis criteria
• How we source off-market deals
• Real examples of what high-ROI investments look like

Your next property deal should be smarter, not riskier. Let’s help you get it right from Day 1.

Off-Market Property Deals Outperform Everything Else

Discover why off-market property deals in the UK consistently deliver better returns than what’s listed on Rightmove. Learn how OTC gives serious investors a clear edge.

The 3 Big Problems with On-Market Deals

Most investors still start their search on Rightmove or Zoopla. But the truth is: If it’s on the market, you’re already behind. Here’s why:

• Everyone’s Competing for the Same Stock: Once a deal is listed, thousands of eyes are on it – including agents, flippers, landlords, and even first-time buyers. This drives up the price and kills your negotiating power.
• Overvalued and Overhyped: On-market properties are often inflated to test the market. You end up paying more than the true value, eating into your ROI before you’ve even completed.
• Slow, Reactive Process: On-market deals often involve more moving parts, which can slow timelines and reduce investor control. You’re reacting to a public process – not leading it.

What Off-Market Really Means (The OTC Way)

Off-market isn’t just “not on Rightmove.” With On The Curb, it means:

• Direct-to-seller sourcing and exclusive deal flow through our private sourcing network
• A fully packaged experience: ROI breakdowns, cash flow analysis, comparables, and more – for every deal in our Off-Market Portal
• Investors browse the live platform after joining our investor network
• When they see a deal they like, they can reserve or make an offer directly
• We help facilitate a smooth, hassle-free process – and through our strategic partners, we provide access to optional services such as refurbishment, letting, furnishing, surveying, and more

On The Curb Real Estate is an all-in-one home for Buy-to-Let real estate investing in the UK. It’s how we streamline investor decisions and grow our network with serious buyers only.

Case Study: Off-Market 10.2% Yield Buy-to-Let in Bishop Auckland

This deal never touched the open market.

We sourced a 2-bed Buy-to-Let on Arthur Terrace, Bishop Auckland, directly from a motivated seller. After running it through our Deal Precision Calculator™, here’s what we found:

• Purchase Price: £70,000
• Annual Rent: £7,140
• Gross Yield: 10.2%
• Demand Score: High (good rental area with consistent demand)
• Exit Strategy: Long-term income hold or future refinance once value increases

This went straight to our private investor list – and was flagged as high-priority within hours. Just clarity, speed, and ROI.

You’re not early… until you’re off-market.
