What are Financial Insights?

Financial Insights is a powerful suite of tools within the Flat platform that provides homeowners with a comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of their property's financial standing. It goes beyond basic property valuation, offering a dynamic view of market trends, mortgage performance, and opportunities for financial optimization.

Key Features and Functionalities of Financial Insights

Flat's Financial Insights are built to provide a holistic financial picture of your home:

  • Appliances: Beyond just storing basic information, the Home Vault can integrate with InspectIQ to provide a comprehensive overview of your appliances. This includes their health score, estimated remaining lifetime, crucial recall information, and even dimensions for easy replacement planning. Knowing the specifics of your appliances helps in proactive maintenance and timely upgrades.
  • Information: This section is dedicated to the unique characteristics of your home. Store details like paint colors used in each room, floor types, filter sizes for HVAC systems, and other specific measurements or specifications. This information is invaluable for repairs, renovations, or even just a quick touch-up.
  • Documents: The Home Vault serves as a secure digital filing cabinet for all your important paperwork. This includes warranties for appliances and home systems, insurance documents, property deeds, mortgage statements, and any other legal or financial documents related to your home. Easy access to these documents can be critical during emergencies or when making claims.
  • History: A detailed record of past home projects, repairs, and maintenance is crucial for understanding your home’s evolution and for future planning. The Home Vault allows you to save details of every significant event, including dates, contractors involved, costs, and even before-and-after photos. This historical data can significantly increase your home’s value and appeal to potential buyers.
