How to Use This Calculator

Property Details

Enter the purchase price and expected monthly rent to get started. Adjust down payment and interest rate to match your financing terms.

Expense Breakdown

Fine-tune operating expenses: property taxes, insurance, maintenance, vacancy rate, HOA fees, and property management costs.

Key Metrics Explained

Cash-on-Cash Return

Annual modeled pre-tax cash flow divided by the entered down payment. It excludes closing costs and is not a return forecast.

Cap Rate

Modeled net operating income divided by purchase price, before financing and income tax.

Gross rent ratio

Monthly rent divided by purchase price is a screening ratio, not an investment rule.

This scenario excludes acquisition/closing costs, capital improvements, income tax, depreciation rules, financing fees, legal costs and unexpected repairs. Validate all inputs before using the output.
