Frequently Asked Questions
Q What formats are included?
Both Excel (.xlsx) and Google Sheets. You’ll get an instant .xlsx download plus a Google Sheets “Make a Copy” link in your purchase confirmation email. Use whichever you prefer.
Q Do I need Excel or can I use Google Sheets?
Either works. The spreadsheet is fully functional in both Excel (desktop or online) and Google Sheets. All formulas, conditional formatting, and calculations work in both.
Q Will this work for single-family, duplexes, and larger multifamily?
Yes. Enter your total monthly rent for all units combined. The analyzer works for any residential rental property regardless of unit count.
Q What’s the difference between Core and Pro?
Core gives you the essential metrics (NOI, Cap Rate, Cash-on-Cash, DSCR) on a single dashboard. Pro adds 7 additional analysis tabs: amortization, 10-year cash flow projection, IRR, equity buildup, tax impact, sensitivity analysis, and a multi-property comparison tool.
Q Can I upgrade from Core to Pro later?
Yes. If you start with Core and want to upgrade, email us and we’ll credit your $29 toward the Pro purchase.
Q Are updates included?
Yes. When we update the spreadsheet (new features, formula improvements, UI refinements), you’ll get access to the updated version at no extra cost.
Q Is there a refund policy?
Because this is a digital product, all sales are final. But if you run into any issues, email contact@theengineerinvestor.co and we’ll make it right.
