Frequently Asked Questions

Should I use expense ratio, annual total, or itemized expenses?

Use itemized when possible for accuracy. Ratio and annual total are useful for quick screening when you have less detail.

Does this calculator include financing impact?

Yes. Debt service is included so you can evaluate true cash-on-cash return and DSCR, not just unlevered return.

Is this focused on year 1 or long-term IRR?

This tool is a year-1 snapshot. Use the Investment Exit calculator for multi-year projections and IRR.

Key Terms (Plain English)

Cap Rate

Annual NOI divided by purchase price or value, before financing.

Example: If NOI is $24,000 on a $400,000 asset, cap rate is 6.0%.

Cash-on-Cash Return

Annual pre-tax cash flow divided by total cash invested.

Example: If cash flow is $9,000 and cash invested is $90,000, CoC is 10%.

DSCR

NOI divided by annual debt service; shows loan coverage strength.

Example: A 1.25x DSCR means NOI is 25% higher than debt service.
