The short answer
1. Enter the purchase price for context, then your planned down payment.
Cash needed to close on a rental is the down payment plus closing costs and any immediate repair or make-ready budget you plan to fund. This calculator adds those numbers from your inputs; it is a planning total, not a lender quote or investment recommendation.

How it works

How this tool works.

A purchase price is not the whole cash commitment. Before a rental starts earning, buyers often need a down payment, closing costs, and money to make the unit ready.
This worksheet combines those inputs into one planning total so the cash requirement is visible before an offer becomes urgent.

Enter the purchase price for context, then your planned down payment.
2
Add the closing costs shown by your lender, title company, or estimate.
3

Include cash that does not become equity

Cash to close can include down payment, closing costs, prepaid items, and immediate work. Separating these shows how much is equity versus transaction or readiness cost.
Use lender and title estimates for a real purchase decision.

The assumptions that move this result

Down payment
Cash applied to purchase financing.
Closing costs
Lender/title/transaction estimate.
Make-ready
Immediate cash-funded work.
Worked scenario
A $70,000 down payment plus $10,500 closing and $5,000 make-ready means $85,500 planned cash, not just the down payment.

Is this a lender quote?

No. Confirm actual cash to close with lender/title.

Include reserves?

Include them if you need them funded at closing.
Questions landlords ask

Questions about this tool and its limits.

Does this include loan approval?

No. Your lender determines underwriting, required reserves, prepaid items, and the actual cash-to-close figure.

Should I include a repair reserve?

Include immediate work you expect to fund at closing. Keep a separate contingency for surprises if that is part of your plan.

Built by a landlord who's done every one of these jobs by hand.
Aptoria was built by an owner-operator managing a Brooklyn portfolio — the 11pm calls, the awkward rent texts, the April receipt-pile — not by a software team guessing at the problem.
