#### Formulas Used
Effective Gross Income (EGI): EGI = Gross Rent × (1 − Vacancy Rate) + Other Income
Net Operating Income (NOI): NOI = EGI − Total Operating Expenses
Monthly Mortgage Payment: M = P × [r(1+r)ⁿ] / [(1+r)ⁿ − 1] where P = loan principal, r = monthly interest rate, n = total monthly payments
Annual Cash Flow: Cash Flow = NOI − Annual Debt Service
Cap Rate: Cap Rate = NOI / Purchase Price × 100
Cash-on-Cash Return: CoC = Annual Cash Flow / Total Initial Investment × 100
Gross Rent Multiplier (GRM): GRM = Purchase Price / Gross Annual Rent
Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR): DSCR = NOI / Annual Debt Service
Break-Even Occupancy: BEO = (Operating Expenses + Debt Service) / Gross Rent × 100
Future Property Value: FV = Purchase Price × (1 + Appreciation Rate)^Hold Period
Remaining Loan Balance: B = P × [(1+r)ⁿ − (1+r)ᵖ] / [(1+r)ⁿ − 1] where p = payments made at time of sale
Total ROI: Total ROI = (Total Cash Flow + Equity Gain) / Total Initial Investment × 100
Annualized ROI: Annualized ROI = [(Total Return / Initial Investment)^(1/Years) − 1] × 100
