What is Rental Deal Analyzer?

A rental deal analyzer is a comprehensive calculator that evaluates the financial viability of an investment property by combining income projections, expense estimates, and financing terms to produce key metrics like NOI, cash flow, cap rate, and cash-on-cash return.

Formula
Cash Flow = NOI − Debt Service, where NOI = Effective Income − Operating Expenses

How this calculator works

A fast, investor-grade rental pro forma. Model income, vacancy, operating expenses, and financing to see NOI, DSCR, cash flow, cap rate, cash-on-cash, and a simple hold projection with IRR.

What it includes
  • NOI (monthly + annual)
  • Mortgage P&I estimate
  • Cash flow (monthly + annual)
  • DSCR and break-even occupancy
  • Cap rate and cash-on-cash
  • Hold projection: sale proceeds + IRR (simple)
How to use it
  1. Start with realistic rent (use comps, not the listing).
  2. Enter taxes/insurance and conservative reserves (vacancy, management, maintenance, capex).
  3. Set your financing terms and sanity-check DSCR + cash flow.
  4. Stress test: rent -10%, expenses +10%, rate +1%.

FAQ

What’s the difference between NOI and cash flow?
NOI is income minus operating expenses (before debt). Cash flow is NOI minus your mortgage payment (and any other debt service).
What operating expense assumptions should I start with?
If you’re unsure, start conservative: 5–8% vacancy, 8–10% management, 5% maintenance, and 5% capex. Then replace with real numbers as you learn the property.
What DSCR should I target?
Many lenders like to see DSCR ≥ 1.20. Higher DSCR gives you margin if rent dips or expenses run higher than expected.
