Number of years to double in value = 72 / Rate of Growth (rate of return)
Gross Rent Multiplier (GRM)
Gross Rent Multiplier = Market Value / Gross Scheduled Income (annual)
Gross Scheduled Income (Potential Gross Income)
Total Annual Rent + Total Potential Rent For Properties That Are Vacant
Gross Operating Income
Gross Scheduled Income – Vacancies and Credit Loss = Gross Operating Income
Net Operating Income(NOI)
Gross OperatingIncome – Annual Operating Expenses = NOI. This does NOT include debt service. Loan payments, depreciation and capital improvements are NOT operating expenses. Repairs and any expense incurred to operate the property are operating expenses including insurance, repairs, advertising, property taxes, trash, water, utilities, property management fees, legal, accounting, landscaping etc.

Your borrowing cost to borrow capital to purchase real estate. Hard money = 15% cost of capital. Using your credit line = 2% cost of capital. Borrowing from family could be 0%
Cash on Cash Return
