Inflation not in the BP calculator?

[Jody J.]

I'm researching buying my first rental property as a retirement investment. Since I plan to hold it for 2-3 decades, I need to take inflation into account. However, the BP Rental Property Calculator doesn't seem to do that. (Unless I missed something, which I well might have!) As a result, I'm concerned that my calculated returns are seriously inflated. That makes it hard to fit it into a good retirement portfolio analysis.  Does anyone have a workaround? I've been lowering some of the year-on-year increase projections (both income and expense) but I think that could skew results.
