Frequently asked questions

How do you calculate rental property cash flow?
Cash flow is monthly rent minus monthly expenses and debt service, adjusted for vacancy assumptions.
What is a good DSCR for rental property?
A DSCR above 1.0 generally means NOI covers debt service. Many investors target 1.20 or higher for safety.
Can I save calculator results?
This calculator does not store your session. A free account lets you save deals in the deal analyzer and track properties in your portfolio—you enter assumptions there.
