CoC can vary wildly and even be infinite if you have zero of your money in the deal. In general, though you probably want more than if you put your money in the stock market so a nominal 10% plus is reasonable starting out if putting in a standard down payment.

Do you have any videos or information about buying the property in your own name vs establishing an LLC to buy the property?

[@maxxfeldman6244]

Buying a property as an LLC can add an extra layer of protection if you end up in a lawsuit. It can also help to set up an LLC for each property that you own so they act as independent businesses. Where it really comes in handy is if you are syndicating a deal and raising capital from others. Buying the property as the vesting LLC gives people the peace of mind that they are essentially on title for the property. If and when you do sell, it makes it much easier to do an exchange into the next property. The one thing to be worried about is if an investor does want to cash out their shares then they have to be replaced by the remaining investors or by a new one.

[@maxxfeldman6244]

Depends how you bought the properties. If they are different owners like LLCs or names, they would most likely be independent of each other. What you can do is have the CapEx be taken out from the cash flow so you never actually put your own money into the property. Obviously this has to be done after a year or 2 once you have enough cash flow to cover your capex

[@guycohen2515]

There is major factor that he missed when calculating the Annual Cash on Cash ROI. What about the portion of the mortgage payment that is being allocated to the principle. Paying down your principal means you are lowering your debt and increasing your equity. That is definitely a GAIN in my book that should NOT be overlooked when doing your numbers. Lets say you pay off about $3,000 of your principal in year one (which only gets higher in future years), calculate that with the $50,000 invested gives you another 6% ROI. Its's not cash in hand but it is $3,000 in equity, which is like money in the bank. With my calculation, the ROI would go from his 9.3%(cash on cash) + 6%(equity) = 15.3% overall ANNUAL ROI. Obviously the numbers that he is using are a little off for a project that only needed a $7K reno, but leaving that aside and just focusing on the calculation for your ANNUAL ROI, don't forget to take into account the new equity you gain every year. It might make the difference in taking a deal or not.

[@annasaricicek8771]

This is a cash flow so it's determining how much cash will you have available at the end of each month. A mortgage is a fixed amout each month so whether the payment is allocated to interest expense or towards the principal, the cash out amount doesn't change until the mortgage is paid off.

[@shampoo68]

@@annasaricicek8771 Or you sell the property. Which I guess is more likely to happen before the mortgage is paid off. In that case, you have to take that additional 6% into account as well.

[@ProBrosMac]

Cash on Cash ROI is a great tool to utilize when one has a mortgage on the property. I used it and this 4 square method on the first property I invested in with a partner. If one is able to pay cash for a house, I wonder how the cash on cash ROI would change things, because it wouldn't look good in that square. I guess thats where the overall or internal rate of return becomes more important.

Thank you for sharing this knowledge, this video is pure gold.

[@enriquegonzalezortegariver4181]

I love the way you educate my man!

[@RoitownINK]

When comparing the ROI of rental property to stocks don’t you have to take into account risks of the two investments. When you have all your money in one property you would have bigger risk than say having it in index funds. What do you think? I’m asking this because I have most of my assets in one rental property and I would like to know if it makes sense to sell it and invest somewhere else.

[@ProBrosMac]

Im in the same boat as you. Plus I sold my last rental and used the equity for the next rental. My cash on Cash ROI square doesnt look good but my Cash flow square is double the example in this video.

[@Mister.Doodler]

Thanks for this BUT will the monthly principal amount (Principal $430+ Interest $430) of mortgage also be a considered as to calculate total ROI

[@skiidzman]

Biggerpockets, how do you determine what a property rents for? In your example you used a duplex and assumed they rented for $1000 each. But is there a standardized method for determining the actual rent price on a house, duplex, or otherwise?

[@GreatApeChristopher]

my method would be the total cost divided by the months of years say you paid 57000 for the property and the term you have for your renter is 5 years so that would be 57000÷60months which is 950and thats how much it will have to be a month in order to get your money back

[@BigdaddiZ]

Skiidzman gotta check the rents in the surrounding area for similar homes

[@dopebookdealer7984]

Jumpman Plug Is that the down payment 57k or the total price of property?

[@slokytheone]

i compare what similar homes rent around the area, also the quality of the home, is it remodeled or is it dated after that research is done i list for 50 to 100 more on my estimate and if someone ask me to lower rent there is room for negotiations

[@GameOver-ei8ui]

Rent has nothing to do with what you paid. Its all about the rent market in your particular area. In larger cities, rent can change daily based on the going price people are willing to pay and of course supply and demand.

ROI didn't include vacancy, also you should ask for a deposit to disincentivize damage of the property.

Yes and i think i heard about some type of insurance because of the covid and tenants not paying. Wow property damage could it be covered by the renters insurance? Breezy One.

Vacancy was included in every month as an expense of $100 in square 2. It was explained as removing 5% of every monthly income. I agree on the deposit. Deposit is usually equivalent to one months rent.

Vacancy was included. Look in the "expenses" square. It's the 6th line.

[@michaeljones5068]

in my market, with the soaring cost of housing and the rental price stagnant, its not possible to find a single option with a positive cash ROI using this method.

[@Bigboss-xe6lm]

@AlpineViking91 Index funds are always a better option (even with todays heavy world market war). But having at least 2-3 properties are also good for income stream. But like you say, you need better ROI for that to be lucrative. Just like here in northern europe. Owning is more expensive than renting, so ROI is less than 4%. Thats why most of my money is in index funds right now. And 50% cash in high interest bank accounts waiting to be deployed when the next recession comes along.

[@Bigboss-xe6lm]

The thing is, you need to find a close enough area that DOES profit well. An area that is growing in numbers steadily and have some cheap condos or multiplexes. And THEN search for the ones that has been out on the market for a long time and haggle as hell. Go low ball them until you hit a desperate enough seller. Takes time and effort but what doesnt? (except for index funds of course)

[@zoepapi4289]

Brandon how do you feel about renting your home on Airbnb between tenants?

[@JTMarlin8]

It's a distraction. You cannot chase the ebbs and flows of tenant occupancy without taking your focus away from the big picture, which is to keep the house occupied long term. There's also the risk of an Airbnb customer trashing your home - more likely than a tenant who fills out a proper application and signs a real lease.
