Strategic planning and risk management are my bread and butter. Whether you’re comparing multi-family vs. single-family investments or scouting the best states for long-term growth, I always let the numbers lead the way.
Personally, I rely on tools like PropStream and HouseCanary for property valuations and market trends, and I still use a good old Excel spreadsheet for running cash flow and ROI projections. For commercial deals, Reonomy’s database is a game changer for off-market research.
What about you? Do you have a go-to app or software for analyzing deals, or even just a spreadsheet template you swear by? I’m always looking to sharpen my toolkit, so would love to hear what’s working for others in today’s market.
Let’s swap recommendations and maybe even some pro tips on how to get the most out of these tools!

I’m right there with you on using PropStream and HouseCanary for valuation and market insights. They’re great for pulling quick comps and layering in neighborhood-level trends. Reonomy, too, is unbeatable when it comes to digging up off-market commercial stuff especially when you’re fishing for owner info or zoning overlays.

Nothing beats a well-built Excel or Google Sheets template for me. I use Stessa’s free rental property analysis spreadsheet, it covers everything you need and all expenses in one place.
PropStream and Reonomy are clutch when you’re digging deep on off-market leads. Love how fast they surface zoning and ownership info.
A solid spreadsheet still does the trick.
I built my own spreadsheet over the years, includes adjustable holding period, exit cap assumptions, refinance scenarios, etc.
