About & how we make our guides

Real-Estate Analyzer is a free rental property calculator and a library of guides, written by a small team of investors. The guides are published under the team name, not an individual, because they are collectively written and checked.

How we check the numbers

Every worked example in the guides is a hypothetical property, labeled as such. Where an example shows a cap rate, cash flow, cash-on-cash return, DSCR, or similar figure, we calculate it with the same engine the analyzer uses, so you can open the example in the analyzer and get the same result. Where a guide uses a different assumption from the analyzer, for example selling costs or growing expenses, the guide says so.

What the guides are, and aren't

The guides explain how to analyze rental properties. They are education, not tax, legal, or investment advice. Rules for tax, lending, and landlords differ by country and change over time, so check current rules with a qualified professional before acting. See our disclaimer.

Updates and corrections

Each guide shows when it was last updated. If you find a mistake or a number that doesn't add up, tell us at support@realestate-analyzer.com and we will fix it and update the date.

How we keep it free

The analyzer and the guides are free, with no paywall. The project is supported by readers who choose to buy us a coffee. We don't take payment to review or rank products, and the guides contain no affiliate links.
