FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a good property yield?

It depends on location, risk, financing and strategy. It is important to look at return and cash flow together.

Are taxes included?

No. This is a simplified calculator and does not include individual taxes, depreciation or tax effects.

Why are purchase costs included?

Purchase costs increase the real capital needed and therefore reduce the more realistic net return.

Why can cash flow be negative despite a return?

Financing, principal repayment, running costs and vacancy can absorb monthly liquidity even if the property shows a long-term return.

Should I include property appreciation?

Only cautiously. Future value growth is uncertain and should not be the only basis for an investment decision.
