his assumption for 2%($2000) rental is that good rental. mine one has 1.4% is that really bad. what is standard rental % vs to property cost?

Thanks Sophia! Having it in Excel with all the formulas already is really helpful! Much appreciated.

Hi everyone, I created a shareable google doc of the four square PDF with math formulas that can calculate the totals for you. Feel free to save and use it! When printing the doc, change the paper orientation in the printer settings to "portrait" and hide the gridlines under "Print --> Formatting". https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/141luc65rcL4dvgVSd_aIGValbcmQ3VqftF_xWAoRfRE/edit?usp=sharing

You only list the downpayment. What about the mortgage/loan payment? Wouldn't you need to add that to the expenses?

Mike Young | almost 5 years ago

Great worksheet, thanks! This will be very helpful for me as I go through my pricing metrics. Tip for others looking to print: on my Mac, I needed to reduce the scale to 25% in order to get it all to print on one 8.5" x 11" page.

Hello, I want to thank Bigger Pockets and the supporters for all the information that is shared, so in return, I wanted to share, I converted the calculator to an excel spreadsheet. Link attached, I will continue to post files that I am able to develop here as well. https://drive.google.com/open?id=18fhv5fhc0rOxfpuntlv7DYrhJy0pSuHa

Bryant Dargan | over 5 years ago  

This document is GREAT for quick calculations! I laminated mine and use a wipe away marker so I can keep reusing over and over again. Very helpful as usual BiggerPockets crew. Thanks

Jason Chalmers | over 5 years ago  

Ok, so the file prints (on a Mac) way too big for a letter size. Any hints at how to change the format to a letter sized print out?

Sean Gibson | over 5 years ago  

I love it! This is an excellent resource for performing a quick rental analysis.

Larry Russell | over 5 years ago

I made an auto-populates spreadsheet that I derived from the worksheet, and I'm happy to share it with the BiggerPockets community. I also wrote a program to automatically populate the spreadsheet with MLS listings from my agent. Check it out! https://github.com/earlvanze/Paragon-MLS-API-Interface Happy to answer any questions. Let me know if it helps!

It's not a "spreadsheet" at all. It's a pdf document. Why say spreadsheet in your video?

Anthony Porter | almost 6 years ago  

Love this worksheet! Thank you

Bryon Johnson | about 6 years ago  

Amazing quick tool.thank you

Pini M. | over 6 years ago  

this is a good one pager for quickly listing the details about a property, especially if you are looking at multiple properties to analyze in a short time frame and have no access to BP calculator. Thank you for posting.

Dipti A. | over 6 years ago  

Very useful, thanks for sharing guys!

Andre Mays | over 6 years ago  

@ Brandon, Thanks for creating !

Tracey Williams | almost 7 years ago  

Donnie: fantastic

Donnie Hardiman | almost 7 years ago  

The sheet is not interactive, like a spreadsheet. It also does not cover nearly as many items as was shown in the video. It is 4 boxes with a few items in each box. I was slightly disappointed that I'd registered for that.

Levi Thomason | almost 7 years ago  

I use this to quickly analyze properties. It's very helpful and easy to use. Thank You!

George Walker | about 7 years ago
