Question 1: How can Ava calculate the ROI for each investment property?

 

回答1:

 

  • Calculate Annual Cash Flow: Multiply the monthly cash flow by 12 to determine the annual cash flow.
  • Estimate Property Appreciation: Determine the expected increase in property value over the investment period.
  • Calculate Total Return: Add the annual cash flow and the property appreciation.
  • Calculate Initial Investment: Sum the down payment and any upfront costs.
  • ROI Formula: ROI = (Total Return / Initial Investment) * 100.

 \(\textbf{ROI Formula:}\)

 

\[ \text{ROI} = \left( \frac{\text{Total Return}}{\text{Initial Investment}} \right) \times 100 \]

 

\(\textbf{凡例:}\)

 

\(\text{ROI}\) = Return on Investment

 

\(\text{Total Return}\) = Total profit from the investment

 

\(\text{Initial Investment}\) = Initial amount invested in the property



Question 2: What factors influence the ROI of a real estate investment?

  • Rental Income: Higher rental income increases cash flow and ROI.
  • 運営費: Lower operating expenses increase net cash flow and ROI.
  • Property Appreciation: Higher property appreciation increases total return and ROI.
  • Financing Costs: Lower financing costs reduce debt service and increase net cash flow and ROI.

Question 1: How can Ava calculate the cash flow and ROI for Property A and Property B?

 

回答1:

 

  • Property A:
    • Monthly Cash Flow: $2,500 – $800 – $1,200 = $500

\(\textbf{Monthly Cash Flow:}\)

 

\[ \$2,500 – \$800 – \$1,200 = \$500 \]

 

\(\textbf{凡例:}\)

 

\(\text{Monthly Cash Flow}\) = Net cash flow from the investment per month

 

\(\$2,500\) = Gross rental income per month

 

\(\$800\) = Operating expenses per month

 

\(\$1,200\) = Debt service per month

 

  • Annual Cash Flow: $500 x 12 = $6,000

\(\textbf{Annual Cash Flow:}\)

 

\[ \$500 \times 12 = \$6,000 \]

 

\(\textbf{凡例:}\)

 

\(\text{Annual Cash Flow}\) = Net cash flow from the investment per year

 

\(\$500\) = Monthly cash flow from the investment

 

\(12\) = 1年の月数

 

  • Total Return: $6,000 (annual cash flow) + $20,000 (appreciation) = $26,000

    \(\textbf{Total Return:}\)

\[ \$6,000 \ (\text{annual cash flow}) + \$20,000 \ (\text{appreciation}) = \$26,000 \]

\(\textbf{凡例:}\)

 

\(\text{Total Return}\) = Total return of the investment

 

\(\$6,000\) = Annual cash flow from the investment

 

\(\$20,000\) = Appreciation in the value of the investment

 

  • ROI: ($26,000 / $60,000) * 100 = 43.33%

\(\textbf{ROI:}\)

 

\[ \left(\frac{\$26,000}{\$60,000}\right) \times 100 = 43.33\% \]

 

\(\textbf{凡例:}\)

 

\(\text{ROI}\) = Return on Investment

 

\(\$26,000\) = Total return from the investment

 

\(\$60,000\) = Total investment amount

  • Property B:
    • Monthly Cash Flow: $3,000 – $1,000 – $1,500 = $500

\(\textbf{Monthly Cash Flow:}\)

 

\[ \$3,000 – \$1,000 – \$1,500 = \$500 \]

 

\(\textbf{凡例:}\)

 

\(\text{Monthly Cash Flow}\) = Net cash flow from the investment per month

 

\(\$3,000\) = Gross rental income per month

 

\(\$1,000\) = Operating expenses per month

 

\(\$1,500\) = Debt service per month




  • Annual Cash Flow: $500 x 12 = $6,000

\(\textbf{Annual Cash Flow:}\)

 

\[ \$500 \times 12 = \$6,000 \]

 

\(\textbf{凡例:}\)

 

\(\text{Annual Cash Flow}\) = Net cash flow from the investment per year

 

\(\$500\) = Monthly cash flow from the investment

 

\(12\) = 1年の月数

  • Total Return: $6,000 (annual cash flow) + $25,000 (appreciation) = $31,000

\(\textbf{Total Return:}\)

 

\[ \$6,000 \ (\text{annual cash flow}) + \$25,000 \ (\text{appreciation}) = \$31,000 \]

 

\(\textbf{凡例:}\)

 

\(\text{Total Return}\) = Total return of the investment

 

\(\$6,000\) = Annual cash flow from the investment

 

\(\$25,000\) = Appreciation in the value of the investment

 

  • ROI: ($31,000 / $80,000) * 100 = 38.75%

\(\textbf{ROI:}\)

 

\[ \left( \frac{\$31,000}{\$80,000} \right) \times 100 = 38.75\% \]

 

\(\textbf{凡例:}\)

 

\(\text{ROI}\) = Return on Investment

 

\(\$31,000\) = Total return

 

\(\$80,000\) = Initial investment
 

Question 2: Based on the calculations, which property offers a higher ROI?

 

回答2:

 

  • Property A offers a higher ROI of 43.33% compared to Property B’s ROI of 38.75%.

 

結論:

 

By calculating the cash flow and ROI for both properties, Ava can determine that Property A offers a higher return on investment, making it a more profitable option.
