About Real Estate ROI Calculator
Understanding Real Estate ROI
Real Estate Return on Investment analysis emerged from general investment theory in the early 20th century, with significant developments during the post-WWII real estate boom. Modern ROI calculations incorporate multiple factors identified through decades of market research and investment experience. This evolution in real estate investment analysis has been driven by the increasing sophistication of the real estate market and the need for more accurate valuation methods.
Mathematical Foundation
The core calculations for real estate ROI include several key formulas that help investors evaluate potential returns:
Initial Investment = Down Payment + Closing Costs + Repairs
Monthly Cash Flow = Rental Income - Monthly Expenses
Annual Cash Flow = Monthly Cash Flow × 12
Cash-on-Cash ROI = (Annual Cash Flow / Initial Investment) × 100
Total ROI = ((Total Profit + Appreciation) / Initial Investment) × 100
Annualized ROI = (1 + Total ROI)^(1/n) - 1
Monthly Cash Flow = Rental Income - Monthly Expenses
Annual Cash Flow = Monthly Cash Flow × 12
Cash-on-Cash ROI = (Annual Cash Flow / Initial Investment) × 100
Total ROI = ((Total Profit + Appreciation) / Initial Investment) × 100
Annualized ROI = (1 + Total ROI)^(1/n) - 1
