About FreeREICalc

FreeREICalc is a free set of real estate calculators and guides designed to help you make confident decisions faster—whether you’re buying your first home, analyzing a rental property, or underwriting deals.

Why it exists

Real estate decisions are often made with incomplete math, unclear assumptions, and spreadsheets that don’t match reality. FreeREICalc was built to provide:

  • Practical assumptions (maintenance, vacancy, reserves) so you don’t overestimate returns.
  • Clear explanations for what each number means and how to interpret the output.
  • Mobile-first UX so you can run the numbers in seconds, anywhere.

Who it helps

  • Homebuyers

    Compare rent vs buy, estimate ownership costs, and plan affordability.

  • Investors

    Underwrite rentals with NOI, cap rate, cash flow, and realistic reserves.

  • Wholesalers

    Estimate MAO quickly using ARV, repairs, and buyer margin.

  • Anyone learning

    Understand the fundamentals with plain-English guides and FAQs.

Who built it

FreeREICalc was built by KRG Investment, a business operator and real estate enthusiast with a background in leadership, analytics, and customer-facing work. The goal is simple: ship calculators that are easy to use, transparent about assumptions, and helpful enough that you’d share them with a friend.
