How to Calculate a Rental Property’s Return on Investment

By: Matt Frankel, CFP

I recommend using these methods when analyzing an investment property to determine the market value and projected returns of a property - Capitalization (CAP) rate is a great method to help determine the market value of a property compared to others in the market - unfortunately, most of the time when reviewing a property the seller's don't provide a complete picture of the financial overview of the property - it's important to make sure your including such expenses as potential vacancy, management fees, repairs, capital improvements, and reserve funds in addition to operating expenses

If you're considering investing in real estate or need help completing an analysis of a property let us know - we can help you walk through the steps to determine if the property fits and meets your real estate investment goals
