JLR Publishing | Spreadsheet tools for real estate investors

Know whether a rental deal works before you make an offer.

Real Estate Deal Analyzer Pro is an Excel workbook that compares up to five properties side by side and gives each one a plain answer: buy, maybe, or pass. It covers long-term rentals, BRRRR, and short-term rentals.

What the analyzer does

Most rental calculators run the numbers on one property. This one helps you decide between several, shows what happens if things go wrong, and hands you a one-page summary to share.
