Smart Real Estate Calculators for Every Stage
The 1978 ranch in Modesto I closed on in March 2019 came with a foundation crack the inspector missed, asbestos siding under the vinyl, and a roof that leaked into the master closet the first heavy rain in November. Six months and $42,000 later I had a livable house and a spreadsheet nobody had shown me before I signed. Every calculator and guide on this site is built from that spreadsheetβcap rate, cash-on-cash, closing cost breakdowns, 1031 rulesβpriced with real 2026 numbers, not the tidy examples on lender brochures. First-time buyer or third-flip veteran, you get the messy math I wish I'd had.
