Rental Property Deal Analyzer — Cash Flow, DSCR, Cap Rate, Stress Test & Deal Score (Excel, 12 tabs)

Most rental deals fail on paper long before they fail in real life. Very few buyers run the numbers properly before making an offer.

Description

This is the model I built to analyse rental property deals — the same one I used to review more than 100 deals before buying two.


What's inside (12 tabs):

  • Start Here — guided inputs, nothing hidden
  • Deal Summary — the one-page view a lender or partner expects
  • Cash Flow — monthly and annual, with vacancy, capex reserve and management fees
  • Return Metrics — cash-on-cash, cap rate, DSCR, GRM, total return
  • Renovation Budget — line-by-line, with contingency
  • 5-Year Projection — rent growth, expense inflation, equity build-up
  • Stress Test — vacancy spikes, rate increases, rent drops, capex shocks
  • Deal Score — a weighted score turning the numbers into a GO / NO-GO verdict
  • Red Flags — automatic warnings on the ratios that kill deals
  • Compare Deals — put several properties side by side
  • Formulas Explained — every calculation, in plain English
  • Due Diligence — the checklist to run before signing

182 live formulas. No macros, no black boxes, no locked cells. Every formula is visible and editable.


Who it's for: first-time and small-portfolio rental investors, real estate analysts, advisors screening deals for clients. Who it's not for: anyone looking for a commercial syndication or waterfall model.
