Your property decision

Should I Buy This Rental?

Find out what the purchase would ask of your money and your life.

See the cash required, the rent needed to cover ordinary bills, and what a weaker rental or sale outcome would change. Keep the financial comparison separate from the work and uncertainty.

Start with a useful first pass

Six short sections, then a saved analysis. Have the purchase price, financing quote, estimated rent and operating costs nearby. You can refine the assumptions later.

This production-testing pilot uses fictional information for one U.S. long-term rental with one to four units. It supports cash or fixed-rate mortgages and a one-to-ten-year comparison. Income taxes, interest-only loans, short-term rentals and complex ownership need further analysis.
