Key Metrics
How it works: This calculator analyzes rental property investment performance using key metrics. Cap Rate (Capitalization Rate) measures the property's unleveraged return. Cash on Cash Return shows the return on your actual cash investment. NOI (Net Operating Income) is the property's profitability before financing costs. A good investment typically has a cap rate above 8% and positive cash flow.

FAQ
What is a good cap rate for rental properties?
Good cap rates vary by market and property type, but generally 8-12% is considered good for residential properties. Higher rates may indicate higher risk.
What's the difference between cap rate and cash-on-cash return?
Cap rate measures unleveraged return (ignoring financing), while cash-on-cash return measures return on actual cash invested including financing.
What expenses should I include in rental property analysis?
Include mortgage payment, property taxes, insurance, maintenance, vacancy allowance, property management, utilities, and any other operating expenses.
How do I calculate rental property cash flow?
Cash flow = Rental income - All expenses (including mortgage). Positive cash flow means the property generates more income than expenses.
What's the 1% rule in real estate investing?
The 1% rule suggests that monthly rent should be at least 1% of the purchase price as a quick screening tool for potential investments.
