Common Questions About Investment Analysis

How do I calculate rental property returns?

Rental property returns are typically measured using cap rate (net operating income divided by property value) and cash-on-cash return (annual pre-tax cash flow divided by cash invested). Net operating income is gross rental income minus operating expenses like taxes, insurance, maintenance and management fees, excluding mortgage payments. Cash-on-cash return factors in financing and shows the return on the actual cash you put in. Both metrics together give a clearer picture of a deal’s performance than rental income alone.

What is a good cap rate for a rental property?

Cap rates vary significantly by market, property type and risk level, so there is no single "good" number. In high-demand urban markets, cap rates of 4–6% are common; in secondary or higher-risk markets, 6–9% or higher may be achievable. Lower cap rates generally reflect lower risk and stronger appreciation potential, while higher cap rates often reflect higher cash flow but more risk. Comparing a property’s cap rate to similar rentals in the same market is more useful than comparing it to a national average.

How do I calculate cash flow on a rental property?

Monthly cash flow equals gross rental income minus all monthly expenses — mortgage payment, property taxes, insurance, vacancy allowance, maintenance reserve, management fees and any HOA dues. A property with $2,000 in rent and $1,700 in total monthly expenses generates $300 in monthly cash flow. Include a vacancy allowance (commonly 5–8% of rent) and a maintenance reserve even in months with no actual repairs, since skipping these leads to overly optimistic estimates.

How do I evaluate a fixer-upper as an investment?

Evaluating a fixer-upper starts with estimating the after-repair value (ARV) using comparable sales of renovated homes nearby, then subtracting the purchase price, renovation costs and holding costs to see if the remaining margin justifies the risk. A common benchmark for flips is the 70% rule: pay no more than 70% of the ARV minus repair costs. For rental fixer-uppers, compare the post-renovation rent potential against the total invested to calculate the resulting cap rate and cash-on-cash return.
