The short version

Nimbus Portfolio's September 2026 update adds a personal forwarding address, so emailed documents land in a confirmation queue instead of being downloaded and re-uploaded. A home you live in is now measured separately from investment properties rather than scored on rental metrics, every dashboard metric opens to show its formula and sources, and ten reported figures were corrected.

Forward a document, and it files itself

Insurance renewals, tax bills and lender letters arrive as email attachments. Filing one used to mean downloading it, finding the right property, and uploading it again.

You now have your own forwarding address. Forward the email, and the attachment lands in a confirmation queue on your Trove page. Nothing is filed until you confirm it, so a stray forward does not quietly join your records, and you get a reply telling you what arrived. Your Trove page shows you the address and how to save it as a contact.

Your home and your rentals are counted separately

If one of your properties is the house you live in, the dashboard was measuring it like a rental: cap rate, cash-on-cash, return on equity. Those are the wrong questions to ask of a home you live in, and folding it into the same totals made every investment number slightly untrue.

Your home now sits in its own strip with its value and what you owe, separate from the investment totals and the Asset Overview. It still counts toward what you are worth. It is just no longer measured as though it were collecting rent.

Your home is measured on its own terms, not on rental returns. Click to enlarge.

Open any number and see where it came from

Every metric on the dashboard now opens a breakdown: the formula, your own numbers that went into it, and where each one came from. Chene answers from the same source, so what you are told matches what you can check.

Net operating income now comes from rent actually received rather than a figure typed into a field.

Your numbers are more accurate this month

Ten reported figures were corrected this month, among them double counted payments in profit and loss, deleted transactions that were still counted in analytics, and return on equity showing on properties with no equity to return on. If a number here has ever looked wrong to you, it may well have been.

One correction is not a number. The settings page carried a two factor authentication control that did nothing. If you switched it on and believed it was protecting your account, it was not. It has been removed rather than left in place looking functional, and changing your password now works.

Also new

Mortgages can be connected straight to the lender, and only the principal and interest portion is amortized, so payoff is not overstated. Market Lookup reads at neighborhood level now, below ZIP, where Redfin covers it. The map names every source it draws on and how fresh each one is. Ask Trove states its monthly question limit up front.

Financial Goals and the PDF report in Investments have both been removed.

Know someone who owns property?

A rental, a vacation home, land, or a primary residence. The market lookup and the free calculators work for them too, and neither needs a signup.

Or get paid for sharing

If someone you refer signs up for a paid plan, you earn cash. Real cash, paid by ACH.

  • Refer another property owner. You earn 10% of their annual subscription: $39 when they take Portfolio+, $19 when they take Portfolio.
  • Refer a real estate agent. You earn 20% of their subscription for 24 months, up to $2,080 per agent depending on tier. Same payout whether you are a property owner or another agent making the referral.
  • Already a real estate agent? The agent referral page has dedicated tools for tracking client invites and agent referrals.

Tell us when we get something wrong

Nimbus is built in the open. If a calculation looks off, a market number is stale, or something in the product does not fit your situation, call it out. Reply to any email, send a note from the app, or grab time below. We will dig in, fix it, and credit the catch.

The point is not to be right. The point is accuracy, less anxiety around real estate decisions, and shared understanding instead of guesswork. That only works if mistakes surface and get corrected fast.

Thank you.

Nimbus is here because of the family, friends, colleagues, and people from the internet who have sent encouragement, broken things in early demos, asked hard questions, and forwarded the platform to someone who needed it. None of that is taken for granted.
