Rental Deal Analyzer
A structured Excel workbook for evaluating rental property cash flow, reserves, and long-term performance before committing capital.

FAQ
Is this a subscription?
No. You pay once and own it. Lifetime minor updates are included at no cost.
How much Excel experience do I need?
The tool is designed for beginner-to-intermediate Excel users. All editable cells are clearly marked in orange. You enter your numbers; everything else calculates automatically.
Is this for large apartment complexes?
No. It's designed specifically for small landlords managing 1–10 units — single-family homes, duplexes, and small multifamily properties. Large apartment syndications have different financial structures that this model doesn't address.
Can I see a walkthrough before buying?
Yes — the Guide walks through every input, every output, and a complete worked example using real numbers.
