Know your true rental return before you close. Freddie calculates ROI, cash-on-cash, and cap rate on any rental deal in seconds.
Dan White, 20-year fix-and-flip veteran in Northern Virginia, used FreeDealCalc to analyze a $130,000 wholetail opportunity in under 5 minutes. No spreadsheet. No paid software. Just Freddie.


"I've been flipping houses for 20 years and I built this tool because nothing free was actually good enough. Freddie does what I used to do with spreadsheets — but in seconds, for free, for every investor who needs it."
A buyer who purchases this property as a wholetail deal undertakes all renovation work at their own direction, cost, and risk. The seller makes no representations regarding property condition and all sales are as-is. Buyer is responsible for all due diligence, inspections, and compliance with local codes and regulations.
Rental ROI has multiple components — cash-on-cash return (annual cash flow divided by cash invested), cap rate (NOI divided by purchase price), and total ROI which adds appreciation and equity paydown. Freddie calculates all three simultaneously.
A good cash-on-cash return is 8-12% in most markets. Cap rates vary widely — 4-6% in hot coastal markets, 8-12% in Midwest cash flow markets. Total ROI including appreciation can push 15-20%+ annually in strong markets.
Mortgage payment, property taxes, insurance, property management (8-12% of rents), maintenance reserves (1% of value annually), CapEx reserves, vacancy allowance (5-8%), HOA if applicable, and utilities you pay as landlord.
The 1% rule says monthly rent should equal at least 1% of purchase price. A $150K property should rent for $1,500/month. It's a quick filter not a precise analysis — use Freddie for accurate ROI after the 1% rule passes.
Leverage amplifies returns significantly. The same property bought all-cash at 5% cap rate might return 12% cash-on-cash with 25% down and a mortgage at 7%. Freddie models both leveraged and all-cash scenarios so you can see the impact.
Depends on your strategy and market. Cash flow markets (Midwest, Southeast) provide immediate income but slower appreciation. Appreciation markets (coastal cities) build wealth long-term but may cash flow negative initially. Freddie scores deals on both dimensions.
