FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is the toolkit really free?

Yes. Registration is free and there is no credit card. We ask for a few details so we can send you relevant market updates and, if you want, a free review of your analysis.

How do I get back in later?

On the device you registered from, you'll stay signed in. On a new device, open the toolkit and choose "Member sign in", then enter your email.

Where do the default numbers come from?

Defaults reflect South Florida conditions as of September 2026: Federal Reserve policy rates, current commercial and SBA 504 loan pricing, and Q2 2026 industrial market reports for Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach. Every input can be changed.

Is this tax or legal advice?

No. The calculators are educational estimates using standard commercial real estate analysis methods and current federal rules, including permanent 100% bonus depreciation and §1031. Please confirm tax results with your CPA and legal questions with your attorney.

Will someone call me?

Only if you ask. You control your text preferences on the form, and every email includes an unsubscribe link.

Can I share my results?

Yes. Each tool creates a share link and a printable PDF, handy for partners, lenders or your CPA.
