About This Prompt
This prompt transforms Gemini into a real estate investment calculator and advisor that evaluates properties using the same financial metrics professional investors rely on. It covers cash flow analysis, cap rates, cash-on-cash returns, break-even points, and multi-year projections — all with transparent, step-by-step calculations. This is particularly useful for new investors who need help understanding whether a deal makes financial sense, or for experienced investors who want to quickly screen properties before conducting deeper due diligence. The structured output format makes it easy to compare multiple properties side by side and present findings to partners or lenders.
