All I see that's changed is the tools and the how's. 

It compiles information, it doesn't mean that information is correct or even applicable to the area you are in.

Adding the ability to run sensitivity analyses for ARV, rehab costs, or holding period can help flippers stress-test deals and make the tool valuable for regular use.

The homes were purchased in the correct neighborhood and the most opportune time imaginable.  

Does anyone have a expense/mileage/income tracking tool in Excel that they like?  

If you ask 100 investors they will tell you to get a 30 year mortgage and if you want to make an additional payment then do that or take the savings and invest it at a rate higher than the mortgage itself.So if the above is correct, then why would a 50 year not follow suit compared to a 30 year.

Quote from @Yuanmo Lei: Hey everyone — I’m a techie and small investor designing a tool to make deal analysis less painful for people like us.I’d love to learn from you:- How do you currently find and analyze your properties?

And definitely include a contingency reserve for unexpected issues that come up during the project.Overall, it sounds like your calculator is shaping up to be a really useful tool for analyzing deals realistically.All the best!

Different medium, same math.For example: Tools like Ramp, Brex, and Rho are doing for founders what great property managers did for landlords: turning banking into a back-office AI.
