Commercial real estate, with real teeth
Flip your way to a war chest. Force value into towers of apartments, industrial, storage, and data centers. Then pull your money back out before the maturity wall does it for you.
The whole business on one board: DSCR, cap rates, the capital stack, and the six-layer read the pros run before they sign. Start on the Ground Floor. Top out into the Tower. Beat a rival to the win.
Anyone can buy a building. The operators who last see the crack in the capital stack before they sign. CapStack drills that read into you, one deal at a time, until spotting the break becomes the first thing you notice.
The loop
The four moves a real operator runs, turn after turn. No trivia. No luck-only rolls. Every decision has a consequence you can feel.
Land on a deal, choose your financing, and read the hidden structural risk before you fund a dollar.
Operate the asset and grow NOI. Every dollar of income multiplies into equity through the cap rate.
Pull your cash back out on a refinance, syndicate the next one, or sell into a rising market.
Stack passive income above your carry line, top out into the Tower, and race to the win.
Under the hood
Not a roll-and-move with a real estate skin. A working capital-stack simulation you can finish over lunch.
DSCR, cap rates, debt service, and the maturity wall drive every call. The actual math of the business, made playable.
Six layers, 97 assumptions. Run the review, watch the risk light up red and yellow, then mitigate it or walk.
One map, one owner per asset, Best-and-Final bidding. Blink on a deal and your rival closes it instead.
Bring in LP equity on deals too big for your own cash. Institutional tickets, institutional upside, real dilution.
Solo the AI, hot seat a friend, go live online, run timed scenarios, or take the Daily Challenge everyone runs at once.
Prospect to Master Deal Architect. The same ladder as Netrix University, earned through play, not paperwork.
Find yourself here
Built for the people who move real money, and the ones on their way to it.
You place these deals for a living. Here you get to run them again and again, and catch the maturity wall, the broken exit, and the gap in the stack before your client, your lender, or your reputation finds it first.
You have the books. Now feel it. Senior debt, mezzanine, preferred, and common stop being vocabulary the first time the market turns and your stack either holds or folds, without a dollar of your own on the line.
You already know the ranks. Now earn them head to head. Same Deal Architect ladder as Netrix University, settled on live tables, the Daily Challenge, and a tournament bracket with your name near the top.
The rival AI does not roll and hope. It underwrites, it bids, and it punishes a lazy stack. A living economy and a real trade-off on every turn. Easy to start. Genuinely hard to master.
CapStack is better with rivals across the table. Sit down at a live game, run a firm together, or bracket up and settle once and for all who really reads a deal best.
The six-layer, 97-assumption read inside CapStack is the same structural review Netrix Deal Architects run on live commercial deals: the maturity walls, the capital-stack gaps, the exits that quietly fall apart. Beat it across a board here, and you will start seeing it across a real term sheet.
