Before You Buy the Rental
Analyze Your First Property with a Deal Calculator, Repair Planner, and Evidence Board
Test cash flow, repairs, reserves, and missing evidence before deciding.
Test the deal, repair exposure, reserves, and missing evidence before enthusiasm becomes a commitment.
For the first-time buyer evaluating a specific rental opportunity and trying to see beyond a simple rent-minus-mortgage calculation.
Decisions this project is designed to support
Separate repairs from reserves
Map known immediate work and future replacement exposure instead of treating both as one optimistic allowance.
Track the evidence
Record what is confirmed, what is estimated, what is still missing, and which missing fact could change the decision.
Write a decision threshold
Name the conditions for proceeding, revising the offer, pausing, or walking away before sunk time creates pressure.
