General Feedback & Ideas

Hi Dave, First, let me say how impressed I am with your software—it’s truly a fantastic tool for deal analysis and project management. However, I noticed one significant feature that seems to be missing, especially for professional flippers: multi-unit support. As an example, if I purchase a property with multiple units—say a building with five apartments, each with different specifications (e.g., 2BR, 1BR, etc.)—I currently don’t see a way to analyze such a deal effectively within the platform. Being able to assign a minimum, median, and maximum price to each unit individually and calculate the overall profitability would be incredibly helpful. This functionality is crucial for analyzing more complex deals involving multi-unit properties, which are common for professional investors and deal flippers. I believe adding multi-unit support would make Flipper Force an even more powerful and versatile tool for your user base. Thank you for considering this suggestion, and please let me know if I can provide further clarification! Regards, Emmanuel

Currently in the User Management area, you can invite users to your account and control the feature access that they have in the platform. User Management is currently built mainly for internal team members/employees of a company to collaborate internally on projects. But ideally, external people like Contractors could be invited to their account, so Contractors could collaborate and do certain things like uploading project updates and photos. Today's Workaround If a Company wants to add a Contractor to their platform, they have to create them as a "User" which counts against their User count quota. Solution Instead of inviting Contractors as a typical user, create a dedicated Contractor role in the User Management area that includes "Contractor" features like Project Updates & Photo Log so contractors can post updates to their projects without counting against the User limit and having access to features they don't need.

As the flipping market has gotten more competitive/difficult with high interest rates we have been getting a lot of feedback recently from our userbase that they are shiifting their business strategy to doing more client work. Here's some client work features we are evaluating: Estimate Proposals that allows users to hide/allocate profit so clients can't see how much profit they are making on the project Separate dashboards/tags for 'Client Work" so you can isolate client work from real estate deals Workflow changes so the Comps, Flip Analysis and other "flipping" specific features that are not applicable are hidden

Our AI Receipt Scanner idea is designed to eliminate the tedious task of manual expense tracking. Simply snap a photo of your receipt or upload a file, and our AI will automatically extract all the essential details, including the date, invoice number, company name, itemized expenses, and amounts. The AI will then intelligently categorize the expenses and populate the transaction form, saving you time and effort. https://youtu.be/iFmZ7w0AS4c How it Will Work: Capture: Take a photo of your receipt or upload a file (PDF, image). Extract: Our AI scans the receipt and extracts the relevant information. Categorize: The AI intelligently categorizes the expenses based on your workspace settings and common construction/renovation terms. Populate: The extracted data is automatically populated into the transaction form, ready for your review and approval. Benefits: Save Time: Eliminate manual data entry and reduce the time spent on expense tracking. Improve Accuracy: Reduce errors associated with manual data entry. Example An receipt with 10 line items from Home Depot would take someone 5 minutes of tedious breakdown and data entry. The AI can perform this task in less than 10 seconds while you do something else. That's a 97% reduction in time spent entering data.

We're exploring ways to make managing your project expenses even easier in FlipperForce. Currently, importing CSV files into the Expense Tracker can be cumbersome, requiring specific formatting and manual categorization. The Problem: Our current CSV import lacks support for key data points like Categories, Companies, Accounts, and Classes. Users often spend valuable time reformatting files to meet our strict column requirements. Post-import, manual categorization is required, which is time-consuming and prone to errors. The Solution: We're considering integrating AI to revolutionize the CSV import process. Imagine: Intelligent Data Mapping: The AI would analyze your CSV, automatically identifying and mapping columns to the correct fields in FlipperForce, even with varying column headers. Automatic Categorization: The AI would predict and assign Categories, Companies, Accounts, and Classes based on the expense data, minimizing manual input. Smart File Cleaning: The AI would automatically detect and correct formatting errors, eliminating the need for manual file preparation. #Benefits: Significant Time Savings: Reduce the time spent on data entry and formatting. Improved Accuracy: Minimize errors through automated data mapping and categorization. Increased Flexibility: Import CSV files from various sources without strict formatting requirements. This enhancement would streamline your workflow, allowing you to focus on what matters most: managing your real estate investments. We'd love to hear your thoughts! Please vote and comment on this idea to let us know if this is a feature you'd find valuable.

Create a dedicated "Receipts" page to store your receipts – your digital "shoebox" for receipts. Easy Mobile Uploads: Quickly snap and upload receipts from your phone. Central "Shoebox": Use the "Receipts" folder as your digital shoebox, eliminating physical receipt piles. Clear Separation of Duties: Contractors/PMs can upload receipts and the bookkeepers can convert to transactions. "Linked" Status: See which receipts are "Linked" to expenses at a glance. Expense Tracker Integration: Easily link receipts to expenses. Granular Permissions: Give upload to project managers or contractors without access to other budget/expense features. Benefits: Simplified Receipt Management: Turn your phone into a receipt scanner and ditch the shoebox. Team Collaboration: Streamline receipt handoff between field and office. Team members in the field can snap a pic of the receipt, and then the bookkeeper can convert it to a transaction. Accurate Expense Tracking: Ensure receipts are linked to the correct transactions. Future Benefits (AI Integration): Automatic Transaction Creation: Imagine simply uploading a receipt and hitting "Convert to Transaction." Our AI receipt scanner will automatically extract the date, account, vendor & itemized amounts. A manual data entry process that would typically take 5 minutes, would now take seconds. Bulk Conversion: Select multiple receipts and automatically convert them to transactions in seconds. Imagine bulk converting 10 receipts in the matter of seconds, saving you an hour of data entry, per project per week. Reduced Errors: AI-powered extraction minimizes manual data entry errors, ensuring accurate expense tracking.
