All three use 25% down, a 30-year loan and the same rent and expense assumptions. Interest rates are examples, not loan quotes.

02 / RENT GROWTH & DOWNSIDE

See how much the assumptions matter.

Compare rent growth over time, then test lower rent, extra vacancy and higher costs. See when a property could need cash from you.

Rent-growth projections, downside tables and financing comparisons stay with your saved analysis.
