Frequently Asked Questions
What is cap rate and how do I calculate it?
Cap Rate = Net Operating Income / Purchase Price x 100. Example: $50k NOI / $500k price = 10% cap rate. Higher cap = better value.
What is cash-on-cash return?
Annual cash flow / down payment x 100. Example: $10k cash flow / $100k down payment = 10% cash-on-cash return.
What expenses should I include for rental property?
Mortgage, property tax, insurance, maintenance (5-10%), property management (8-12%), utilities (if you pay), vacancy allowance.
What is debt service coverage ratio?
NOI / annual mortgage = DSCR. >1.25 is healthy (good ability to cover mortgage). <1.0 = negative cash flow.
