How to Use This Tool

Property & Loans

Enter the property name, purchase price, and value allocation (land / improvements / personal property). Set up 1st and optional 2nd mortgage. Initial equity is auto-calculated.

3

Income & Expenses (APOD)

Enter Potential Rental Income, Other Income, and all operating expense line items. The tool calculates NOI, CFBT, and CFAT for Year 1. Utility and contract service labels are editable.

4

Assumptions

Set tax rates, vacancy rate, escalation rates for rent and expenses, depreciation lives, hold period, sale cap rates, and the NPV discount rate. These drive all downstream tabs.

5

10-Year Projection

Auto-generated table for all income, expense, NOI, debt service, CFBT, tax, and CFAT rows for each year. Green = positive cash flow; amber = negative.

6

Sale Analysis

Three cap rate scenarios show projected sale price, adjusted basis, gain calculation, tax on sale, and net proceeds before and after taxes.

7

Returns (IRR/NPV)

Side-by-side comparison of before-tax and after-tax IRR and NPV for all three sale scenarios, plus Year 1 quick metrics: cap rate, cash-on-cash, DSCR, and GRM.

8

TVM Calculator

Standalone financial calculator: enter any four of N, I/YR, PV, PMT, FV and solve for the fifth. Includes a full amortization schedule.
