Frequently Asked Questions
What does equity multiple mean?
Equity multiple is total cash returned divided by cash invested. A 2.0x means you doubled invested equity over the hold period.
How is IRR calculated?
IRR is computed from an initial equity outflow, yearly cash flows, and final net sale proceeds at exit.
Can I model appreciation vs direct sale price?
Yes. Choose either appreciation-based exit value or a direct target sale price input.
Key Terms (Plain English)
IRR
Internal rate of return that annualizes all cash flows over the hold period.
Example: IRR captures timing, not just total profit.
Equity Multiple
Total cash returned divided by total cash invested.
Example: A 2.0x equity multiple means you received twice your invested equity back.
Net Sale Proceeds
Sale price minus selling costs, loan payoff, and taxes.
Example: This is the actual cash remaining from disposition.
