How it works

Cash-on-cash return is the yearly cash flow before income tax divided by the total cash you put in, which is the down payment plus closing costs and any money you spend on repairs at the start.

Cash flow is the net operating income minus the yearly loan payments. A loan can raise the cash-on-cash return when it costs less than the property earns, and lower it when it costs more.
