How These Calculators Work
Methodology: formulas combine standard amortization math, cash-flow arithmetic, and simple return ratios.
Inputs: purchase price, rates, rents, expenses, rehab assumptions, and timeline choices.
Datasets: baseline home-price bands, mortgage-rate ranges, rent bands, and property assumption defaults.
Limitations: local regulation, tax treatment, and true operating costs can materially change outcomes.
Intended use: quick screening and scenario planning before deeper underwriting.
