Start flip funding with cash vs loan, nudge hold time in small steps, and import property-manager rent into rental underwrite.

  • Import rent received and vacancy days from a property-manager export or by hand, review the proposed rent and vacancy, then apply them to the rental underwrite.
  • On the flip wizard’s holding step, choose all-cash or a loan first — picking a loan type fills in editable default rates and points.
  • Adjust hold time with ±1 and ±7 day buttons so small slips are easy to set, while the slider still covers a wide range.
  • After setup, the optional Security tip has one Remind me later action.

2.26.2 — 2026-09-29

Mobile Exit Planner now compares flip vs rent vs BRRRR like the web app, and S-corp salary % is editable on the project calculator.
