Question 1

What is a real estate pro forma template?

Accepted Answer

A real estate pro forma template is a pre-built spreadsheet or PDF that lays out the inputs and outputs of a deal — purchase price, rehab, financing, NOI, ROI, ARV — so you can drop in your numbers and read the result. Lucraforma offers free templates for fix-and-flip, new construction, and rental deals.

Question 2

Are the templates really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Excel and sample PDF templates are free to download with no signup and no subscription. The $29 charge applies only to the lender-ready PDF + formatted Excel export for a specific deal — generated live from the calculator with your inputs.

Question 3

What's the difference between a free template and the $29 lender-ready PDF?

Accepted Answer

The free template is a blank, pre-formatted spreadsheet you fill in by hand. The $29 lender-ready PDF is generated by the calculator from your inputs, paginated with cover page and signature lines, accompanied by a polished, formatted Excel workbook — the artifact you submit to a bank or hard money desk.

Question 4

Which template should I download?

Accepted Answer

Fix & flip for buy-renovate-resell deals; new construction for spec home and ground-up builds; rental for long-term holds and BRRRR refinances. Each template mirrors the corresponding live calculator on Lucraforma.

Question 5

Is this a pro forma generator?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Lucraforma generates a complete fix & flip, new construction, or rental pro forma from your inputs. Enter your numbers in the calculator and the document is generated instantly. Free to use; $29 to export the lender-ready PDF and formatted Excel workbook.
