02 Jul 2025 / 09:26 AM
Understanding ROI (Return on Investment) is key to evaluating your property’s financial performance. It shows you how profitable your investment is over time.
- Step 1: Calculate net annual income (rental income – expenses).
- Step 2: Calculate total investment (purchase price + improvements).
- Step 3: Apply the formula:
ROI = (Net Income ÷ Total Investment) × 100
This helps you decide whether to keep, sell, or improve your asset.
“A good ROI usually ranges between 8% and 12% depending on the market.”
