How This Calculator Works
- On the entered figures — $2,500 of monthly rent against $1,300 of monthly expenses — the property nets $14,400 a year. Against $75,000 of cash in (down payment plus rehab), that is a 19.20% cash-on-cash return.
- That return is only as honest as the expense line: vacancy, repairs, management, taxes, and insurance belong in it before the number means anything. Cash flow built on rent minus only the mortgage payment is marketing, not underwriting — run the full expense stack before comparing deals.
- Market check (Apartment List, September 2026): the national median rent was $1,388, down 0.1% month over month, and the national vacancy rate eased to 7.0% from a 7.3% February peak. Flattening rents with slowly tightening vacancy argues for underwriting today's achievable rent rather than last year's asking rent — and for keeping a real vacancy allowance in the expenses above.
