Not every real estate decision should be solved with one number

Some tools are built to help you evaluate a purchase. Others are designed to help you compare paths, test assumptions, or determine whether your current equity is actually working hard enough. Start with the category that best fits the decision you are trying to make.

Rental Purchase

Rental Property Analysis Tool

Use this tool when you want to evaluate whether a rental property actually makes sense before you buy it. Review income, expenses, financing, cash flow, and long-term wealth creation in one place.

Best for: 1–4 unit rental evaluation
Primary question: Is this deal worth buying?
Cash flow Financing impact Long-term projections Decision support
Repositioning

Rental Analyzer

Use this when you are not just asking whether a property performs, but whether your capital is positioned well. This tool is better for strategic review, repositioning, and testing whether staying where you are still makes sense.

Best for: Existing owners and investors
Primary question: Is my equity working hard enough?
Capital efficiency Repositioning logic Scenario analysis Strategic review
Multi-Unit Analysis

Multi-Family Property Analyzer

Built for properties with multiple units and multiple rent streams. Use this tool to analyze buildings where each unit type may produce different income and where the decision requires more than a basic single-property worksheet.

Best for: 4-unit, 6-unit, 8-unit, and larger scenarios
Primary question: How does this multi-unit deal really perform?
Multiple unit types Rent mix Income breakdown Acquisition analysis
Compare Paths

Property Comparison Tool

Use this tool when you need to compare one path against another. Keep the current property, sell it, reposition the equity, or compare multiple scenarios side by side so the decision becomes clearer.

Best for: Keep vs sell vs reposition decisions
Primary question: Which path creates the better outcome?
Scenario comparison Equity review NOI and leverage Decision clarity
Which one should you use?

Start with the question you are trying to answer

I am evaluating a potential purchase

Start with the Rental Property Analysis Tool if the question is whether a deal works before you buy it.

I already own a property and want to review performance

Start with the Rental Analyzer if the real question is whether your equity is positioned efficiently.

I am analyzing a building with multiple unit types

Use the Multi-Family Property Analyzer to break down more complex income and unit structures.

I need to compare one path against another

Use the Property Comparison Tool if you are trying to decide between keeping, selling, or repositioning.

Still not sure which path fits?

Some decisions need more than a calculator

A tool can organize the numbers. It cannot replace judgment. If you want help thinking through the tradeoffs, strategy, or next move, use the tools first and then reach out to talk through the scenario.
