Investor questions
Questions investors ask about siEarn
What is siEarn?

Who is siEarn for?
Investors researching small residential income properties in Miami-Dade, Broward, the Florida Keys and Flagler County. Compare reported income with expenses, financing and the questions that still need answers. Coverage varies by market.
Is this rental a good deal?
That depends on your purchase price, costs, financing and risk limits. Start with documented current income and realistic expenses. Test the price and terms that would meet your return hurdle. Passing is a valid outcome.
How do I estimate cash flow on a duplex?
Start with current rent for both units, using leases and collections when available. Subtract vacancy and credit loss, then taxes, insurance, owner-paid utilities, management, maintenance and other operating costs to find net operating income (NOI). Subtract debt service and recurring capital reserves to estimate cash flow before income tax. Obtain Florida insurance quotes and a buyer tax estimate rather than relying on the seller’s old tax bill.
Where do siEarn numbers come from?
Public listing pages, broker materials, dated workbook observations and official records where noted. Each brief shows source links, observation dates and unresolved conflicts. Seller-reported rent and NOI still need supporting documents. An observation date is not a promise of continuous monitoring.
Does siEarn have a live MLS feed?
No. Published research contains dated observations of public sources. A property may no longer be available. Recheck the listing source and current terms before acting.
Do I need an account?
No account is needed to browse public research or use the browser-local workspace. Saved properties, scenarios and offer drafts stay in the current browser unless you choose to export or submit them through a separate feature. Clearing browser data can erase local work.
Is siEarn a brokerage or investment advice?
siEarn is research software. Its numbers are estimates and dated observations, not appraisals or recommendations to buy. Confirm legal units, title, leases, insurance, taxes, condition and financing with the relevant sources and qualified professionals. Offer preparation creates a worksheet, not an official contract.
Which areas are covered?
Research covers Miami-Dade, Broward, the Florida Keys and Flagler County, with selective coverage that varies by market. The automated county registry covers Miami-Dade only. Check the source and date on the particular property brief.
Is siEarn free, and where can I ask a research question?
siEarn is free to use. For a research question or source correction, email hi@siearn.com with the property address or record and the supporting source. Do not send passwords, financial account details or other sensitive documents by email.
What would make a property worth buying?
Identify the price, documented income, expense quotes, financing terms and priced repair plan that would meet your own hurdle. Keep unknowns and source conflicts visible. A deal that only works with unsupported projections needs more evidence or a different price.
