How it works
The Multi-Property Portfolio Analyzer evaluates your rental property portfolio by calculating key financial metrics such as Total Equity, Monthly Cash Flow, Annual ROI, and Portfolio Leverage. To determine these values, the analyzer uses your total property value, total mortgage, monthly rental income, and monthly expenses. For example, if your total property value is $1,000,000 and your total mortgage is $600,000, your Total Equity would be calculated as $1,000,000 - $600,000 = $400,000. Next, Monthly Cash Flow is derived from subtracting monthly expenses from monthly rent: $10,000 (rent) - $4,000 (expenses) = $6,000. To find Annual ROI, divide your annual cash flow by your Total Equity: ($6,000 x 12 months) / $400,000 = 0.18 or 18%. Finally, Portfolio Leverage is calculated by dividing the total mortgage by the total property value: $600,000 / $1,000,000 = 0.6 or 60%. These metrics provide insights into the performance and risk of your investment portfolio.

Frequently asked questions
- What is Total Equity?
- Total Equity is calculated as the total property value minus the total mortgage. For instance, if your property value is $1,000,000 and your mortgage is $600,000, your Total Equity is $400,000.
- How do I calculate Monthly Cash Flow?
- Monthly Cash Flow is determined by subtracting your monthly expenses from your monthly rent. For example, if you earn $10,000 in rent and have $4,000 in expenses, your Monthly Cash Flow is $6,000.
- What does Annual ROI represent?
- Annual ROI is the return on investment calculated by dividing your annual cash flow by your Total Equity. If your Monthly Cash Flow is $6,000, your Annual ROI would be ($6,000 x 12) / Total Equity.
- What is Portfolio Leverage?
- Portfolio Leverage indicates the proportion of your property value that is financed by debt. If your total mortgage is $600,000 and your property value is $1,000,000, your Portfolio Leverage is 60%.
