Key Real Estate Investment Metrics

Real estate investment calculators typically provide these key metrics:

ROI (Return on Investment): Measures the annual return on your investment
Cash Flow: Shows the monthly income minus expenses
Net Present Value (NPV): Calculates the current value of future cash flows
Capitalization Rate: Indicates the annual return based on property value
Gross Rent Multiplier: Compares property value to annual rent

ROI Formula

ROI = [(Annual Rental Income - Annual Expenses) / Purchase Price] × 100

Example Calculation

Let's calculate the ROI for a property with these details:

Purchase Price	$250,000
Annual Rental Income	$30,000
Annual Expenses	$18,000

Using the ROI formula:

ROI = [($30,000 - $18,000) / $250,000] × 100 = 4.8%

This means the property generates a 4.8% annual return on investment.
