The mogul platform provides a powerful calculator tool that allow you to deeply examine property investments and customize financial projections.

​
Accessing the Calculator

The calculator is can be accessed by going to the ‘Analysis’ tab, allowing you to:

  • View default projections across multiple scenarios
  • Customize assumptions to match your investment outlook

​
Scenario Analysis

​
Multiple Case Views

  • Base Case: The expected performance based on conservative assumptions
  • Bull Case: An optimistic scenario with more favorable outcomes
  • Bear Case: A conservative scenario accounting for potential challenges

Toggle between these to see how different assumptions affect the high-level metrics.
