Disclaimers
Please read this page before you use any tool or guide on this site, or any PropertyFormStudio template sold on Etsy.
Not legal, tax, or financial advice
PropertyFormStudio is not a law firm, is not a CPA or tax preparer, and is not a registered investment adviser. The materials on this website — including the rent receipt generator, the rental deal calculator, the guides, and any embeddable widget — were not prepared by attorneys or tax professionals as advice for your situation. They are calculators, records, and general information for organizational and educational use only.
Nothing on this site is legal advice, tax advice, or investment advice. Nothing here is a substitute for advice from a licensed attorney, a CPA, a qualified tax professional, or a registered investment adviser. Nothing here creates an attorney-client or adviser-client relationship. Nothing here is a tax form, a Schedule E, a Form 1099, a Form 4562, or a tax return. Nothing here predicts returns, appraises property, or recommends that you buy, sell, refinance, or hold any property.
About the calculators
Results are illustrations based only on the figures you enter. The deal calculator’s formulas match the Deal Analyzer sheet of our Rental Property Cash Flow Analyzer workbook: cap rate is NOI divided by purchase price; cash-on-cash is annual cash flow divided by total cash invested; DSCR is NOI divided by annual debt service; monthly cash flow is annual cash flow divided by twelve. NOI excludes debt service and excludes the CapEx reserve.
The 1% rule (monthly rent divided by purchase price) is a rule of thumb only, not a requirement. The stress test (rent minus 10%, vacancy plus 5 percentage points, rate plus 2 points) is an illustration, not a prediction. A positive stressed cash flow is not a recommendation to buy. A negative one is not a recommendation to walk away.
You are responsible for the accuracy of your inputs and for any decision you make. Loan terms, taxes, insurance, vacancy, and expenses in the real world will differ from a worksheet.
About the rent receipt
The receipt generator produces a record of payment only. It is not a lease, not a legal notice, not a demand, and not a substitute for a notice that a statute may require. Rules about when a receipt must be given, and what it must contain, vary by jurisdiction and can change. Confirm current local and state requirements from official sources or a licensed attorney.
State-specific products and official sources
Some Etsy listings refer to a particular state’s statutes (for example, Florida security-deposit timing). Those are blank form templates. They are not legal advice and they are not a promise that a form is current or complete. Always verify the current official text before use. For federal rental-income recordkeeping, official starting points include:
- IRS Publication 527
- Instructions for Schedule E (Form 1040)
- IRS tips on rental real estate income, deductions, and recordkeeping
No guarantee
No outcome is guaranteed. Using a category, a formula, or a template does not mean an amount is deductible, a notice is valid, or a deal is sound. Laws, tax rules, and local practice vary and change.
Etsy listings and support
Templates sold on our Etsy shop have their own listing descriptions and Etsy’s digital-item policies. Support for those files covers file access (for example, a file that will not open). Questions about a legal, tax, or investment situation should go to a licensed professional.
