What calculators, spreadsheets, or free tools have helped you analyze deals effectively?

Quote from @Ren Hopson: I'm under contract with a couple properties and the guys I was planning to assign the job to doesn't have a license does that effect the future value of the home?

Having access to different structures can make the difference between winning or losing a deal.Curious what systems you’ve found most effective.

But doing so, in this case, would effectively wipe out today’s payout and leave the calendar open with almost no notice to rebook.Any thoughts in what you will do here, do I accept or politely declined the date change and explained that the timing falls outside the flexible window to make changes per our cancellation/modification policy. seems also no middle ground (It does not allow me to surcharge a one night stay ).How do you handle same-day change requests while balancing fairness and protecting your calendar?

One effective approach is to establish strong relationships with local suppliers to negotiate better rates on materials.

Personally my tech stack looks like this:Docusign - signing leases (technically rentredi can do this I think, I'm just too lazy to change)Rentredi - applications for properties, tenant payment platform, maintenance request trackingBaselane - Banking (you may not need this yet with only one property but SO great to have multiple accounts for multiple props)Notion - SOP docs, how to's, general instructions in databases and pagesTango - use to record step by step instructions of specific tasks and link in Notion pages where necessaryI also self manage, and most of my communication is with tenants, handyman, and occasionally banks, so I don't have a great rec for how to most effectively communicate with a PM, however if you have a project database set up in Notion it should be easy to create the steps you want and track how you like Personally,  I am in awe, Docusign is good can you intergrate it to  stessa?

How will that effect my taxes? 

We haven't released it yet, but seems there are a lot of people want to offset their costs of ownership and that effects the whole market.

That spreadsheet is much simpler than the above.If you have a straight partnership, the proceeds might be a simple split.Creating a spreadsheet that could effectively handle both types of structures adds a further layer of complexity.
