Why I built it this way

Most free rental calculators leave out the costs that actually sink deals: vacancy, repairs, and capital reserves for the roof and HVAC you'll eventually replace. Skip those, and almost anything cash flows on paper.

This one includes them by default. Each property is checked against the same benchmarks lenders and experienced investors use, so you know whether a deal truly works before you make an offer.

If a deal only works at 0% vacancy, it doesn't work.

The analyzer won't let you forget that.
