How to Use These Real Estate Tools

Real estate investing requires analyzing dozens of variables: purchase price, financing, rental income, expenses, appreciation, vacancy rates, and more. These calculators handle the math so you can focus on finding good deals.

Choose the right tool for your strategy:

These calculators use standard real estate investment formulas (cap rate, NOI, cash-on-cash return). Always verify rent comps, get inspections, and consult a CPA about tax implications before purchasing investment property.

Common Questions

What's a good cap rate for rental property?

Cap rates vary by market. High-growth areas (CA, NY) have lower cap rates (4-6%) but strong appreciation. Midwest/South markets offer higher cap rates (8-12%) with slower appreciation. Target 8%+ for cash flow, 5-7% if betting on appreciation. Our calculator shows your property's cap rate so you can compare to market averages.

What is the 70% rule in house flipping?

Max offer = (70% × ARV) - Rehab Costs. Example: $300k ARV with $50k rehab → max offer is $160k. This leaves room for profit, holding costs, and selling expenses (6-10% of ARV). Our Fix-and-Flip Calculator shows if your deal meets the 70% rule and calculates expected profit.

What's the 1% rule for rental properties?

Monthly rent should be at least 1% of purchase price. A $200k property should rent for $2,000/month. This rule helps quickly screen deals—properties meeting the 1% rule usually cash flow well. Our Rental Calculator computes your property's rent-to-price ratio automatically.

Should I include property management fees?

If you'll hire a property manager (typically 8-10% of rent), include it in expenses. Self-managing saves money but requires time for tenant screening, maintenance calls, and rent collection. For out-of-state properties or multiple units, property management is almost always worth it.
