The Initial Costs Window is the first screen of the Cash Flow Analysis component. This window allows you to enter all of your outlays, and in addition lets you account for all of your sources of cash.

As seen in the image to the right, the Outlays section contains fields for you to include all of your possible initial expenditures necessary to acquire the property.  These include Purchase Price, Closing Costs, Rehab and Repairs, as well as Other Acquisition Cost, which can serve as a catch-all for other expenses related to acquiring the property, such as the cost of a building inspection.

The Fund Sources section contains a table for you to enter any loans to be taken out in order to obtain funds that will go toward paying the initial costs.  Once you enter the Mortgage Amount, Term, and Interest Rate fields, the program calculates what your Monthly Payment will be.

Once you've filled out the Outlays and Fund Sources sections, clicking the Calculate button will automatically populate the Out Of Pocket field with the difference between your Outlays and Fund Sources, which represents the amount of cash (if any) you will need to come up with to complete this deal.
