What are you using? What is the standard? I'm using Apple's Numbers app because it came with my mac but I'm starting to see that Excel seems to be the standard. Should I switch over? I'm just making simple project budgets for my flips but will use more and more as I move forward and start looking more toward showing others (investors) what I'm doing. Cash flows ROI etc... Any help is welcome. Thanks in advance!

p.s. I'm a contractor who's learning to be a numbers guy so this is not my forte.

@Judah Johnson I feel most investors fall into this trap.  Its called OVER THINKING!  Just do what you are comfortable with.  It doesn't matter if you use excel, numbers, google docs etc.  Just stick with what you are comfortable with and build from there.  They all do the same basic functions you are needing.  When you become better at creating spreadsheets then you can look into different options and features.  This is my take on it because i have been there and spent more time on things like this then actually working deals.  Good luck!
