Account

How do I create an account?

Tap Sign up on the welcome screen, enter your email, and create a password. You'll receive a verification email — confirm the link to finish setting up your account.

I didn't receive the verification email.

Check your spam or junk folder first. If it's not there, tap Resend verification on the sign-in screen. If you still don't see it after a few minutes, contact support@prop-folio.app.

How do I reset my password?

On the sign-in screen, tap Forgot password? and enter your email address. We'll send a reset link that opens directly back in the app.

How do I delete my account?

Open Account from the bottom navigation, scroll to the bottom, and tap Delete account. This permanently removes your profile, saved properties, and all associated data within 30 days.

Subscription cancellations must be handled separately — see Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions on your device.

Credits & Membership

How does the credit system work?

Each property import uses one credit. Your subscription includes a monthly credit allotment — 1 per month on Standard, 20 per month on Pro. Additional credits can be purchased as one-time packs from the Credits screen.

Credits never expire while your subscription is active and roll over month-to-month.

What's the difference between Standard and Pro?

Standard ($1.99/mo) — App access plus 1 import credit per month. New subscribers receive a free first month.

Pro ($19.99/mo) — Everything in Standard plus 20 import credits per month and access to Pro-only features as they ship. No free-month offer on Pro.

Prices are shown in-app at the moment of purchase in your local currency.

Can I buy credits without a subscription?

Credit packs require an active membership (Standard or Pro). Once subscribed, you can top up with 1-, 5-, 10-, or 20-credit packs whenever you need more imports than your monthly allotment.

How do I cancel my subscription?

Cancel through Apple, not through the app. Open Settings on your iPhone → tap your name → SubscriptionsProp-FolioCancel Subscription. Your access continues until the end of the current billing period.

I purchased credits but they didn't appear.

Pull-to-refresh the Account screen, or close and reopen the app — credit balance refreshes when you return from a successful purchase. If credits still don't appear after a minute, tap Restore purchases in Account. If the issue persists, email support@prop-folio.app with the date and amount of your purchase.

Strategies

Which strategies does Prop-Folio support?

Three: Traditional Buy & Hold (long-term rental), BRRRR (buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat), and Fix & Flip (buy, renovate, sell). You select a strategy when you import a property and can change it later from the property detail screen.

How is the Deal Score calculated?

Each strategy has its own scoring formula tuned for that strategy's most important outcomes:

  • Buy & Hold: weighted toward monthly cash flow, cap rate, and DSCR.
  • BRRRR: weighted toward cash left in deal after refi, recouped percentage, and post-refi cash flow.
  • Fix & Flip: weighted toward projected profit, ROI, and the MAO delta.

When required inputs are missing, the score shows Incomplete Analysis instead of a misleading number.

Can I run multiple strategies on the same property?

Yes — import the property once, then use the strategy selector to switch between Buy & Hold, BRRRR, and Fix & Flip. Each strategy stores its own assumptions and score independently, so you can compare them without re-importing.

Data & Accuracy

Where do the rent estimates come from?

Rent estimates come from an industry-standard rent AVM. On import, we pull a property-level estimate. From the Unit Mix card, Refresh estimates re-queries the comp source once per unit using that unit's actual bed/bath configuration, so each row gets a comp matched to its specific layout.

Where does the ARV come from?

If you've entered an ARV manually, that value always takes priority. Otherwise we use a researched-multiplier model: a base property value (from our AVM source or your purchase price) plus a renovation uplift calculated per category using Remodeling Magazine Cost vs. Value national averages. Estimates display an (est.) suffix — tap to override.

How accurate are the rent and value estimates?

AVM-based rent estimates generally fall within ±10–15% of actual asking rents, with wider variance in less-trafficked submarkets. Always verify with local comps and your own knowledge before making an offer. Prop-Folio is an analysis tool, not a guarantee of future performance.

Why is the rent showing as "$0" or blank?

Per-unit rent rows stay blank until you tap Refresh estimates. If you import a multi-unit property without bed/bath data per unit, we don't divide the building-wide rent across rows — that would invent numbers. Add bed/bath via the unit edit modal, then tap Refresh.

Troubleshooting

The app froze or crashed on launch.

Force-quit and reopen the app. Most launch issues resolve once the session refresh and subscription state finish loading in the background. If the problem persists, make sure you're on the latest App Store version, then contact us with your iOS version and device model.

My property is showing the wrong address.

Address normalization can occasionally drop the street line for hard-to-geocode addresses. Open the property, scroll to the bottom, tap Delete property, and re-import — the latest version detects this case and falls back to the explicit street/city/state/ZIP you provided.

How do I export a deal to share with my lender or partner?

Open the property and tap the Share icon in the top header. Prop-Folio generates a multi-section PDF covering the headline analysis, market context, renovation breakdown, and your deal notes. You can email it, AirDrop it, or save it to Files.

Which markets does Prop-Folio support?

Prop-Folio currently supports Chicago and Cook County, IL. We're starting where our data is deepest and expanding to new metros as we validate each market's data quality. If there's a metro you'd like us to prioritize, email support@prop-folio.app — we prioritize new markets by user demand.

Can I use Prop-Folio outside the US?

Not at this time. Prop-Folio is currently US-only, starting with the Chicago metro. International coverage is not currently planned.
