How to use Rescover, what every investing term means, and what's new. Written by the people who built it.
Or just ask: the Ask Rescover button, bottom right, answers from these articles.
"A tour of myRescover"
What each sidebar item does, and where to start depending on the job you came to do.
"AutoPilot: verified targets, every Monday"
Save a search, switch on AutoPilot, and 25 verified, skip-traced targets arrive each Monday.
"Billing, payments, and refunds"
Where invoices live, what gets refunded (and what doesn't), and the one-day path for billing disputes.
"Canceling your Rescover subscription"
Self-serve, effective at the end of your billing cycle, with your data held for 90 days in case you return.
"Change the rent on an analysis"
Test a different rent in the calculator, understand what it changes, and know when to override the Rent Estimate itself - by hand or by asking the assistant.
"Company branding"
Two logos, your colors, one critical checkbox - and every page, report, and PDF wears your brand.

Every mortgage payment quietly buys back a piece of your property. That's equity you didn't have to write a check for.
APOD (Annual Property Operating Data)
The one-page financial statement of a rental - income at the top, cash flow at the bottom, every deduction visible in between.
Cap Rate
Net operating income divided by price. The speed of the return, before financing.
Cash Flow Shortfall
When collected income doesn't cover expenses plus the mortgage, the difference comes out of your pocket. Size it before it sizes you.
Cash-on-Cash Return
Annual cash flow divided by the cash you actually put in. The return on YOUR money.
Down Payment
The cash you put in up front. It sets your leverage, your payment, your cushion, and most of your risk profile.
"Localize your growth assumptions"
National-average appreciation and rent growth are wrong in both directions at once. Three inputs deserve your market's real numbers.
"The pro's deal checklist: what to confirm before you trust a deal"
The short sequence seasoned investors run before believing a good-looking deal - in order, front-loaded with the cheap deal-killers.
"The stale property tax trap"
The tax figure on record is the input most likely to be quietly wrong on exactly the deals you're most excited about. Here's how to catch it.
