Frequently Asked Questions
Q What format is the Cap Rate Comparison Tool?
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. No software to install.
Q What exactly does it calculate?
For each property: Net Operating Income (NOI), cap rate, and cash-on-cash return. The sensitivity analysis shows how each metric changes with different vacancy rates, expense ratios, and rent assumptions.
Q How is this different from the Rental Deal Analyzer?
The Rental Deal Analyzer does a deep dive on a single property (cash flow, DSCR, IRR, amortization). This cap rate comparison tool is for quick side-by-side ranking of multiple properties. Many investors use both — the comparison tool to shortlist, then the Deal Analyzer to go deep on the top picks.
Q Can I compare properties in different markets?
Yes. Each property row is independent. Compare a duplex in Cleveland with a single-family in Memphis and a fourplex in Indianapolis — the tool handles it all.
Q Do I need real estate experience to use this?
No. The tool includes built-in instructions, a glossary of terms, and pre-loaded demo data so you can see exactly how it works before entering your own numbers.
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.
