Feedback # 2 on Calculator
Hey . Here is some additional feedback on the calculator.
I am attaching screenshots...and note it to point what I am looking at.... hopefully it is all clear. ;)
Financing Structure Screen
The calculator for Cash to Seller and Seller Financing seems to have a rounding or percentage-based calculation issue.
For example, if I input a $270,000 purchase price and a $100,000 down payment, the Seller Finance amount should be $170,000, but it’s showing $169,992 instead. It looks like the calculator may be using a percentage formula with decimals instead of a direct subtraction.
Deal Analysis Panel - Gross Cash Flow
I’m a bit confused about how the Gross Cash Flow is derived. I understand where Net Cash Flow comes from, but I can’t tell exactly what the Gross Cash Flow in this calculator represents or how it’s being calculated. Could you clarify which expenses are included or excluded in that figure?
Deal Analysis Panel - Cash-on-Cash Return
It looks like the Cash-on-Cash Return is being calculated using the “Cash Needed at Maturity,” which represents the post-refinance scenario. While that’s valid, it would also be helpful to calculate the Cash-on-Cash Return for the current operating period, based on the cash invested now and the annual net cash flow. This would better reflect what a buy and hold investor evaluates for immediate performance.
Escrow & Closing Calculations Screen.
a. I didn’t see a place to include the cost of transactional funding (for example, fees from a short-term lender used for the first transaction). It looks like the calculator assumes all cash is out of pocket. Could we add a field for a Transactional Funding Fee?
b. Could you clarify what “Liquidity Required” represents? Is that a lender reserve requirement or just a safety buffer for underwriting purposes? It might help to include a short note or tooltip explaining that on the screen.
Additional Recommendation:
At the bottom of the transaction section, it might be helpful to make it explicit in the Escrow area that the seller receives their cash at the end of the first transaction. That would make the flow of funds clearer for users analyzing double close or wrap style structures.
