A defensible first pass.
Screening tools for sizing up a property opportunity with a bit more rigour than a back-of-envelope sum — before committing more time, money, or attention than the deal warrants.
Built for my own use and shared because the same screening questions keep coming up. Free to use, anonymously. Made for an Australian context — stamp duty, GST, and land tax across all eight jurisdictions.
What conventions does the Feasibility Reckoner use?+
Costs entered ex-GST, sale prices inc-GST. Monthly drawdown with capitalised interest. Stamp duty and land tax brackets hard-coded for all eight Australian jurisdictions. All conventions documented in-tool.
Is my data sent anywhere?+
