Problems with Bigger Pockets Rental Calculator?

[Ken M Middleton]

Hey BP,

Is anyone having an issue that when you analyze a property with the BP rental calculator, it automatically drops the insurance and taxes down to almost nothing for some reason, so almost every deal looks better than it really is?

It's not a big deal, as I just have to go in and readjust it, but it seems to be a glitch, and I'm wondering if I'm the only one who is experiencing it.

Does anyone know how to contact someone for help if this is just something I'm experiencing?

Appreciate anyone's guidance on this. Thanks.

Ken,

I think it is a glitch...at first I thought maybe I was not changing the tab from annual to monthly, BUT after doing this so many times (Calculator Grandmaster) I think that it often "forgets" that I made the switch. So, if I put in $80/month for insurance for instance, the BP calculator changes it to $80/annual ($80/12 = $6.67) and my analysis are all off. So now I am in the habit of double checking each report before believing what it says for my CoC return and Cash Flow.
