Is this rental property calculator really free?

Yes. The free tier includes multiple AI-powered analyses per day with no credit card. Optional paid plans unlock unlimited use.

What inputs most affect DSCR?

Rent, vacancy, management, maintenance, taxes, insurance, HOA, and financing terms (rate, term, down payment) all flow into debt coverage. Small changes in rent or vacancy often move DSCR the most.

Does the tool replace an appraisal?

No. It educates and screens deals using the numbers you provide. Always confirm value and rent with comps, appraisals, and licensed professionals.

Can I analyze short-term rentals?

Use conservative rent and higher vacancy/maintenance assumptions to approximate STR economics. Dedicated STR modeling may require additional fields in a spreadsheet.

What does CONDITIONAL mean?

The deal may work if specific assumptions hold (rent, price, financing, or expense fixes). The output highlights which levers to negotiate or verify first.

How accurate is the AI verdict?

Accuracy depends on your inputs and market realities. Treat the verdict as a structured second opinion, not a guarantee of performance.

Why do banks care about DSCR?

DSCR measures whether rental income can service debt after operating expenses — a direct indicator of default risk on income-producing collateral.

What cap rate should I target?

Markets differ. Use cap rate alongside cash-on-cash and DSCR rather than chasing a single headline number.

Do you store my deal data?

Deal inputs are sent to the AI provider to generate a response. Review the privacy policy for retention details.

Where can I learn more about BRRRR?

Start with the BRRRR analyzer and the investor blog for strategy articles and case-style breakdowns.

Free rental property calculator built for real underwriting

Most “rental calculators” online stop at gross rent minus mortgage. Lenders and experienced investors look at vacancy, management, maintenance reserves, capital expenditures, and debt coverage — the same stress tests you will face on a DSCR loan file. ToInvested’s AI Property Analyzer compresses that workflow into about a minute: you enter what you know, and you receive cap rate, cash-on-cash, DSCR, cash flow, and a BUY / PASS / CONDITIONAL verdict with strengths, risks, and next steps.

Cap rate, DSCR, and cash-on-cash — why all three matter

Cap rate helps you compare properties on a normalized basis. Cash-on-cash tells you what your actual equity earns after financing. DSCR tells you whether the property’s net operating income can carry the loan — the metric most rental lenders care about first. A deal can look “fine” on cap rate but fail on DSCR if expenses are understated or rent is optimistic. This tool is designed to surface that tension early.

How investors use this before they make an offer

Use the analyzer as a first-pass screen on every MLS lead: paste list price, realistic rent from comps (or your property manager’s opinion), and conservative expenses. If the verdict is PASS, you save hours of follow-up. If it is CONDITIONAL, you know exactly which levers to negotiate (price, rent, taxes, insurance, or financing terms) before you engage an agent or lender.

Spreadsheet vs AI analyzer

Spreadsheets are powerful but slow: you rebuild formulas, worry about version control, and still have to interpret the output. ToInvested standardizes the math, explains the tradeoffs in plain English, and keeps the model aligned with how working analysts think about risk — without replacing your CPA, attorney, or lender.
