Intake Form

Fill in top to bottom. Everything else in the app calculates from these fields — and everything saves on this device as you type.

1. Your Info (for the LOI header)

Auto-fills today. Set a fixed date before sending an LOI if you want it frozen.

2. Property

The price YOU are underwriting. Every metric and the LOI use this number — not the asking price.

3. Income (monthly)

Market rent you can prove with comps — never the seller's pro forma.
Laundry, parking, fees — only if documented.

4. Expenses (itemized — every line gets a source)

Minimum 5%. Applied to gross income.
Use the REASSESSED figure at your purchase price — the seller's bill is not your bill.
From a real quote on this property.
Age and condition based. The recurring drip.
Note: the 123 Main Street anchor deal is taught without a separate CapEx line; Module 3 underwrites add one. Enter yours here.
% of gross income. Charged even if you self-manage — your time is not free.
From 12 months of actual bills.

5. Financing

Typically 2–5% of price.
Part of your cash to close — it is NOT subtracted from the loan.

6. Rehab

Rehab Tab = pull the Rehab Calculator total. Manual = use the override below.
Rehab Used ($)Calculated. This is the rehab figure the whole underwrite uses.—

7. Your Targets (the verdict is measured against these)

Road 1 of the Maximum Offer solver.
1.25 is the standard lender line.

What This Tool Is

The Nebula Calculator underwrites a rental property the ProSphere way: every expense itemized and sourced, financing priced at your real rate and term, and a verdict measured against YOUR standards — not the seller's. It covers long-term rentals, BRRRR, and flips, builds your maximum offer three different ways, stress-tests the deal, and drafts your Letter of Intent from the same numbers.

PROSPHERE NEBULA CALCULATOR — VERSION 2 · Version 2.0 — October 2026 · ProSphere Real Estate Academy

How To Use It

  1. Start on the UNDERWRITE tab and fill the form in top to bottom. The bordered fields are the only typing you do — every result calculates itself, live.
  2. Read the verdict at the top of the Underwrite tab. Then open the STRESS TEST tab before you decide.
  3. Use the REHAB tab for a room-by-room rehab estimate, then set the Underwrite rehab setting to "Rehab Tab" (or use the button at the top of the Rehab tab) so the underwrite pulls that total.
  4. Run the BRRRR & FLIP tab if the deal is a refinance play or a flip. The LOI tab builds your offer letter from the same numbers — download it as a PDF or email it right from the app.
  5. Log the deal on DEALS and your people on LENDERS. Everything you type is saved on this device automatically — no account, no sync.

The Underwriting Rules It Follows

  • Every expense is a line with a source — vacancy, taxes (reassessed), insurance, maintenance, CapEx reserve, management, utilities. No flat-percentage shortcuts.
  • Vacancy is always counted, even on a fully occupied property.
  • DSCR 1.25 is the lender line. The verdict measures DSCR, cash-on-cash, and cash flow against the targets YOU set on the Form.
  • Maximum offer = the LOWEST of three roads: income (cap rate), financing (DSCR), and cash-on-cash.
  • Decide on the base case. Survive the worst case. Never buy on the best case — the stress test is built in.
  • Earnest money is part of your cash to close, never a reduction of the loan.

What's New in V2

  • Itemized expense engine replaces the old flat 60%-of-rent NOI shortcut.
  • True DSCR and true cash-on-cash (the v1 cash-on-cash formula was wrong and flattered deals).
  • Loan payment now uses your actual rate AND term (v1 silently assumed 30 years).
  • Three-road Maximum Offer solver with a walk-away line and an offer check.
  • Built-in stress test: rent, vacancy, expenses, rate — each alone and all combined.
  • New BRRRR & Flip sheet: cash-left-in-the-deal, low-appraisal scenario, 70% rule, itemized flip costs.
  • Rehab Calculator: working room totals (v1 had a broken ARV link), plus a contingency line.
  • Second-position interest is now true interest-only math. Mobile UC duplicate replaced by a linked Mobile Summary.
