Why the numbers matter more than the property
A beautiful house can be a terrible investment, and an ugly one can print cash. What separates them is the math: rent minus the mortgage, taxes, insurance, vacancy, maintenance, and management. Miss a few of those "hidden" costs and a deal that looked like $300/month of cash flow is actually losing money. These tools force every cost into the open so you buy on facts, not vibes.
