The Deal Toolkit.

The actual spreadsheet we fill out on every property we look at, the prompt that tells you whether a market will even let you operate, and the guide that got us from house poor to five doors. Free, no upsell attached to the download.

What you get

Five files, sent straight to your inbox.

The guides
  • The Freedom Playbook, the math behind trading a paycheck for cash flow
  • Start Where You Are, real estate 101 and the on-ramps that need no capital
  • The STR Market Check, a prompt that vets the rules before you make an offer
The models
  • The Deal Analyzer, with cash on cash, cap rate, DSCR and a hold period IRR
  • The Furnishing Budget and Inventory Builder, feeding straight into the analyzer
  • The companion guide that defines every input in plain English
These are not watered down versions. It is the same analyzer we underwrite our own deals on, including the part that stops you counting cleaning income as take home.

Who we are

Two ex-Deloitte accountants who own five short-term rentals.

I spent nine years in real estate tax at Deloitte, the last stretch as a Senior Manager. Zach builds and sells companies. We bought a house we could barely afford, rented it out while we traveled, and used the equity to build a guest house in the backyard because we did not have cash for a down payment. Today we own five rentals, four short term and one long term.

Five doors later, we post the real numbers every week. These are the files we actually use, not a sample of something better we are holding back.

Rentals owned
5
Doors managed

Monthly revenue

One honest note

The analyzer needs real revenue data to be worth anything.

You cannot fill it out honestly by guessing what a property earns, and a number from a listing agent is not a projection. We use AirDNA on every deal. It is on the tools page along with everything else we run on, and it is the only tool on that page you need before you own anything.
