Inputs
Read Closing Costs, then enter rent, rate, taxes, insurance, and vacancy from your own documents. If the output and your budget disagree, a line item is usually missing or mistyped.
One at a time
After each run, change only one input. The input that moves monthly cash flow or equity the most is the one to verify against a source document.
Deliberate tweak
Drop modeled rent by $100/month for twelve months; if cash flow goes negative, you know how sensitive the deal is to vacancy or rent cuts.
