Are You Leaving Cash Flow From Your Rental Properties on the Table?

If you're investing in rental properties or thinking about it, you've probably heard the phrase: "It's all about the cash flow." But here's the thing: most people stop at surface-level math and miss opportunities that could boost their monthly returns.

So the real question is - are you leaving money on the table?

Why Basic Math Doesn't Work For Rental Properties

Many landlords rely on a quick rent-minus-mortgage calculation to determine if a property is "worth it." That's a decent starting point, but it doesn't tell the full story. Without digging into metrics like gross yield, cash-on-cash return, or even debt service coverage ratio, you might miss red flags—or golden opportunities.

Let's say a property brings in $1,500/month in rent, and your mortgage is $1,000. That leaves $500 in your pocket.

Not so fast.

What about taxes, maintenance, insurance, property management, vacancies, and CapEx reserves? After those are factored in, the real profit often looks very different.

Smarter Yield = Smarter Decisions

The more precise your calculations, the better your decisions. A 6% rental yield might look great until you learn the area has high turnover and hidden costs that eat into your return. Conversely, a property with an 8% yield in a slower-growth market might offer long-term stability with fewer surprises.

Here's where smarter rental math pays off:

• You'll know when to say yes—and when to walk away.

• You can compare properties on more than just price or rent.

• You'll set more accurate expectations for cash flow and ROI.
