It's the complete first-pass analysis for sizing up an investment property.

Frequently asked questions

What is cash-on-cash return?

Annual pre-tax cash flow divided by the cash invested (down payment). It measures the return on the money you actually put in.

Cap rate vs cash-on-cash?

Cap rate ignores financing (NOI ÷ price); cash-on-cash includes the mortgage and reflects your leveraged return. This tool shows both.
