Hi Wellington, 

Yes! There's a video on the rental calculator landing page. Here's the direct link to the video. 

 Hi Lisa, 

We recently did some rearranging on the site. What was called BPInsights now exists as the Rent Estimator and Pro Exclusive articles. The Rent Estimator can be found here or by going through the top nav to Tools > Rent Estimator. Pro articles (also known as Expert Analysis) can be found here or by going through the top nav to Education > Read > Expert Analysis. We used to have "Data Downloads" as part of BPInsights; those downloads are now embedded within their relevant Pro articles – these are available to Pro and Premium members.

I hope this helps! 

You can find it here! 

Hi Daniel, 

AirDNA is having some technical issues right now, so unfortunately that feature isn't working right now. We will put it back in our top navigation once they have it fixed (hopefully in the next few days). Sorry for the inconvenience. 

Hi Barry, 

Pro Forma Cap Rate is calculated by using the after repair value of the property, the Cap Rate is calculated by using the purchase price.

You can add in after repair value by clicking  the "I will be rehabbing this property" checkbox under the Purchase section.

Hope this helps! 

Hi @Gabriel Bures, 

We recently produced a deep dive video for doing a rental analysis. You can find the video here.

 Hi Charles, 

Each free and Plus user gets 5 uses of the calculator before being asked to upgrade to Pro. You are able to access your old reports by going to this url, unfortunately if you're out of free reports you won't be able to edit or create more reports. 

Best,
