Real estate & rental
Real Estate Rental Property Calculator
Full analysis of a rental purchase: income, expenses, financing and what is left each month.
Result
Maintenance, capital reserves and management are included as percentages of rent because leaving them out is the most common error in rental analysis. A property that only cash flows when those are set to zero does not cash flow. Not investment advice.

About this calculator
What is the 1% rule?
Monthly rent of at least 1% of purchase price. It is a screening filter that has become very hard to meet in most markets, and failing it does not automatically make a deal bad.
Why include management if I self-manage?
Because your time has value and because you may not always want to do it. A property that only works when you work for free is a job, not an investment.
The formula
cash flow = NOI - annual debt service, where NOI is effective rent less all operating expenses
