## Description

This MCP acts as a financial engine for real estate investors. It takes your raw data, like rent, mortgage payments, taxes, and maintenance buffers, and turns it into a clear picture of your monthly liquidity. You can see how much cash you're actually putting in your pocket, not just what's on a flyer. It goes deeper than basic math, too. It calculates your Cap Rate and Cash-on-Cash returns while factoring in the tax side of the house. If you're looking at depreciation or wondering how a 1031 exchange will actually impact your bottom line, this tool pulls those numbers together. You can even throw a few different properties at it at once to see which one wins out. It's a way to move from "this feels like a good deal" to "here is exactly how this affects my portfolio." By adding this to your setup through Vinkius, you get a reliable way to stress-test your real estate investments without building your own spreadsheet formulas.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
I'm looking at a house for $400k. Rent is $3k, mortgage is $2k, taxes are $500. What's my monthly cash flow?
```

**Response:** 
```
Based on those numbers, here is your monthly cash flow breakdown:

| Expense Item | Amount |
| :--- | :--- |
| **Gross Rent** | **$3,000** |
| Mortgage | ($2,000) |
| Taxes | ($500) |
| **Net Monthly Cash Flow** | **$500** |

*Note: This doesn't include maintenance or vacancy buffers yet. Would you like me to add a 10% maintenance estimate?*
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Estimate the tax benefits for a $500k rental with a $400k basis.
```

**Response:** 
```
For a property with a $500,000 sale price and a $400,000 cost basis, here are the estimated tax benefits:

* **Potential Depreciation Shield:** You can leverage the building's value to offset a significant portion of your rental income.
* **Interest Deductions:** Your mortgage interest will further reduce your taxable income.
* **Estimated Annual Savings:** Depending on your other income, this could significantly lower your tax bracket for this asset.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Compare two properties: Property A ($300k, $2k rent) and Property B ($350k, $2.5k rent).
```

**Response:** 
```
Here is the side-by-side comparison of your two options:

**Property A**
* Purchase Price: $300,000
* Monthly Rent: $2,000
* Estimated Yield: 8.0%

**Property B**
* Purchase Price: $350,000
* Monthly Rent: $2,500
* Estimated Yield: 8.5%

**Verdict:** Property B offers a slightly higher yield, but Property A requires less upfront capital. Would you like to see a detailed cash flow for one of these?
