Otesa Middleton Miles from Bankrate.com shares with us some of the formula that we might use to be success in real estate investment. So let’s see what his formula about :
Cash-on-cash return
Boaz Gilad, investor and author of the book “The Real Estate Millionaire: How to invest in rental markets and make a fortune”, uses this formula to access the investment potential.
Formula : (Cash in - cash out) / down payment = cash-on-cash return.
Cash in : cash the property expected to bring in annually
Cash out : expenses such as mortgage payments, repairs, insurance, etc.
Down payment : total amount invested
Gilad’s advice : Don’t buy if the cash-on-cash return is lower than 3 percent and look for rate above 6 percent.
After-repair value
Doug Crowe, president of Springboard Group use this formula for short-term investment.
Formula :
- The purchase price should be no more than 65 percent of the after-repair value of the property.
- (75 percent of your after-repair-value) - (repair expenses) = purchase price
Capitalization rate
Doug Crowe also use another formula called Capitalization rate for long-term investment.
Formula :
Annual rental income(income-expenses, not including mortgage)/ the purchase price = capitalization rate.
PS : High capitalization rate will help the buyers while low capitalization rate will help sellers.
PS: Capitalization rate very depends on the area you invest in.

The cash on cash rate formula is not very good as it will depend on the terms of the mortgage (an interest only mortgage will give you a much better cash on cash return than a short term P+I mortgage) and how high you gear (a small deposit will inflate the number produced by the formula). I prefer the cap rate approach.
