Cash flow snowball/ tree tool?

Question

Does anyone use a tool of some sort to plan out a cash flow tree with rentals?  Sometimes known as a cash flow snowball.  It's easy to draw out but it's not easy when you want to change your numbers since one thing effects the other.

I'm trying to find something where you can put your first rental at the top, type in it's cash flow and keep working your way down as you acquire more properties.  That's the short explanation, of course the more data points to enter the better.

Working with excel now, you're right!  I can set up the formulas to work in a way where 1 input can change numerous ones at the same time.  Works well.

@Sean Gallagher I don't knokw exactly what you want to do but microsoft Excel other spreadsheet could easily handle this.

But to what end? Your time is better spent doing a deal than it is figuring how much money you might make if you did deals. I know it can be fun to conceptualize how much you can make but it is the doing that actually make sthe money.

Use excel, that should do the trick.

Hmm. You need a cross between canva and excel I would guess. We need to get canva to let us input formulas!!

So you have your first rental at the top, it cash flows, you then use that money for the next property, and then another property.  You could create a cash flow tree showing how you can snowball the income $ to purchase more and grow.  I've seen the visualization on a youtube video but can't remember which one lol.  Excel may work

Im not sure I completely understand what you're trying to calculate but I would go about it using Excel or Google Sheets and create a "master" and a separate sheet for each property.  Have the Master sheet reference each property sheet and have it add up.
