Rental Property Analyzer Calculator

Estimate rental cash flow and returns from income, financing, operating expenses, vacancies, and capital costs.

Method and required inputs

Use realistic rent collections and include taxes, insurance, management, repairs, maintenance, utilities, vacancy, reserves, and closing costs. Test a repair or vacancy shock before investing.

The analysis starts with collected rent and subtracts vacancy, management, taxes, insurance, utilities paid by the owner, repairs, maintenance, association charges, capital reserves, and debt service. Acquisition and closing costs belong in the invested-capital figure.

Read the complete result

Review monthly cash flow separately from cap rate, cash-on-cash return, principal reduction, and appreciation. Each answers a different question. Do not use gross rent as if it were spendable profit.

Run a stress case

Stress vacancy, rent collection, turnover, repairs, insurance, taxes, financing, and a major capital item. A property that becomes negative after one ordinary repair may be undercapitalized even when the advertised return appears strong.

Limits and verification

The tool cannot inspect leases, title, zoning, property condition, tenant law, taxes, financing covenants, or local demand. Verify records and obtain appropriate legal, tax, lending, and property inspections before investing.
