Your monthly housing cost after rent
"I ran 8 deals in a weekend before making an offer. The effective mortgage number made it so clear which properties actually worked for my situation."
"I'm not a numbers person at all. The fact that it explains every term as you go made this the only tool I could actually use without a spreadsheet course first."
"The break-even vacancy rate is something I'd never even thought about. Now it's the first thing I look at. Absolute game-changer for a duplex buyer."
Add the asking price, down payment, and loan terms. We fill in smart defaults so you're never staring at a blank field.
Enter the rent for each unit, plus estimated costs like insurance, taxes, and maintenance. We'll flag anything that looks unusual.
Your effective monthly mortgage cost, cash flow, cap rate, and break-even vacancy — all in one clean summary you can share with your partner or agent.
