Question 1

How do I analyze a rental property?

Accepted Answer

Enter the purchase price, rent, and operating expenses, and the free Rental Property Calculator returns monthly cash flow, cap rate, cash-on-cash (CoC) return, and Net Operating Income (NOI). The Deal Analyzer does the same on any address and adds a deal score.

Question 2

What is the difference between cap rate and cash-on-cash return?

Accepted Answer

Cap rate is Net Operating Income (NOI) divided by purchase price and ignores financing. Cash-on-cash (CoC) return is annual pre-tax cash flow divided by the actual cash you invested, so it reflects your loan. Both are shown side by side so you can compare deals on equal footing.

Question 3

Can I track more than one rental property?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Portfolio Dashboard rolls up equity, cash flow, and returns across every property you own, and each property keeps its own documents, project history, and performance figures.

Question 4

Is the Rental Property Calculator free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Rental Property Calculator and the other calculators are free to use. A free account unlocks every tool, and a 30-day trial opens the full platform including the Deal Analyzer and Portfolio Dashboard.
