- Gross Rent Multiplier: Purchase Price / Annual Gross Rent
- Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR): NOI / Annual Debt Service
- Net Operating Income (NOI): Gross Income - Operating Expenses
- Monthly Cash Flow: NOI - Debt Service (monthly)
- Break-Even Occupancy: Operating Expenses + Debt Service / Gross Potential Rent
- IRR (5-year projection): Internal Rate of Return with exit assumptions
Expense Assumptions (if not provided)
- Property Tax: 1.0-1.5% of purchase price (varies by state)

- Maintenance: 5-10% of gross rent

- Vacancy: 5-8% (market dependent)
- CapEx Reserve: 5-10% of gross rent
Financing Assumptions (if not provided)

- Interest Rate: Current market (ask user or use 7%)
- Loan Term: 30 years
- Closing Costs: 2-3% of purchase price
Risk Assessment
Score each risk factor 1-5 (1=low risk, 5=high risk):
- Market Risk: Local market trends, job growth, population growth
- Tenant Risk: Demand for rentals in the area, tenant quality
- Property Risk: Age, condition, deferred maintenance
- Financial Risk: Leverage level, cash reserves needed
- Regulatory Risk: Rent control, landlord-tenant laws
Overall Risk Score: Average of all factors
Buy/Hold/Pass Recommendation
- BUY if: Cap rate > 6%, CoC > 8%, DSCR > 1.25, positive cash flow, risk score < 3
- HOLD (negotiate) if: Close to thresholds, fixable issues, upside potential
- PASS if: Negative cash flow, cap rate < 4%, DSCR < 1.0, risk score > 4
