Which calculator should I use?
Use the Rental Property Calculator for buy-and-hold cash flow, the Real Estate IRR Calculator for returns over a full hold including the sale, the ARV and MAO Calculators for wholesale and flip offers, the Fix and Flip Calculator for complete flip ROI, the BRRRR Calculator for the BRRRR strategy, the Cap Rate and Cash-on-Cash Calculators for comparing rentals, the DSCR Calculator for loan qualification, and the 1031 Exchange Calculator to see how much tax a like-kind exchange defers when you sell.
What is the 1% rule in real estate?
The 1% rule states that a rental property's monthly rent should equal at least 1% of the purchase price. For example, a $150,000 property should rent for at least $1,500/month. Use our free 1% Rule Calculator to instantly check any property.
What is DSCR and why does it matter?
DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) = NOI / Annual Debt Service. Most DSCR loan lenders require a minimum ratio of 1.25, meaning the property generates 25% more income than the mortgage payment. Use our free DSCR Calculator to see if your rental property qualifies.
