ROI Calculator / Real Estate

ROI Calculator for Real Estate & Rental Property

Real estate ROI depends on the strategy: rental income, appreciation, or both. A rental property might generate 8-12% annual ROI when you combine net rental income with property appreciation. The key is accounting for all costs — mortgage interest, property taxes, insurance, maintenance (budget 1-2% of property value per year), vacancy periods, and property management fees (8-10% of rent if outsourced).

ROI Tips for Real Estate

✓Calculate cap rate (Net Operating Income / Purchase Price) to compare properties quickly — aim for 5-10% in most markets
✓Budget 1-2% of property value annually for maintenance and repairs — skipping this leads to inflated ROI projections
✓Include all acquisition costs: closing costs (2-5%), inspection, appraisal, and any renovation before renting
✓Factor in vacancy rate (5-10% of annual rent) — no property stays 100% occupied year-round
✓Leverage amplifies ROI: a 20% down payment on a property that appreciates 5% gives you 25% ROI on your cash invested
