Non-Pro members calculating deals

[Kwadwo Boafo]

I was wondering how investors who are not bigger pockets members; new/experienced without the pro membership are calculating/ analyzing deals on a regular basis? Considering the number of reports you can generate on bp is limited to 5. Are people calculating these properties by hand? Excell? Other REI calculators?

Because the BP calculator seems pretty straightforward in my opinion.

I use a combination of BP calcs (not the most user-friendly if you want to make changes or run "what-ifs"), DealCheck.io (I like the UI a little better), and spreadsheets (customization for unique cases). 

I'd suggest DealCheck if you are looking at flips or buy-and-hold. Low monthly subscription. Otherwise, a BP membership is awesome especially if you are going to utilize some of the other benefits available such as the webinar archive, landlord forms, and of course all the calculators. You can always get a discount on BP by doing a webinar and getting a discount code.

Good luck!
