My B.P. calculator experience
Just wanted to share my recent mind altering experience about the B.P. calculators. Like most, I have clearly heard the importance of analyzing deals and how the B.P. calculators can and do help, especially if just learning how to analyze deals, like my self. After spending a little time this week figuring out how they work and running numbers of realtor.com and Zillow for experience, I am blown away about inaccurate my "thoughts" turned out to be at first glance of properties. I budget and manage huge construction projects in film industry and have learned a lot of hard lessons about the process in my profession. I am grateful to B.P. for creating the calculators to help with the learning curve in real estate and which there had been a tool like these in the film industry when I started! Thanks B.P.!

@Jonathan Greene Thanks for the info! I couldn't agree more. I have found tools are not a replacement for experience, they only help preform learned tasks faster. My 20+ years in film construction has proved the best table saw doesn't make me a better builder if I don't understand the foundation of a movie set.
