Calculation assumptions

Cash flow is rent less vacancy, operating costs, replacement reserves and a fixed-rate amortizing mortgage. Mortgage principal is included in cash outflow. Tax deductions, sale proceeds and appreciation are outside this first-year calculation. A target price holds the entered rent, expense amounts, mortgage rate and percentage down payment/closing costs fixed as the price changes. Property taxes and lender terms may change with the actual purchase price.

The benchmark-based input subtracts tenant-paid utilities once to estimate a lease-rent assumption. It does not calculate a voucher subsidy or determine a housing authority's approved rent. In custom-rent mode, the lease rent is used directly. Owner-paid utilities belong in operating costs.
