Frequently asked questions
- What is a good cash-on-cash return?
- Most investors target 8–12% cash-on-cash return as a minimum threshold. Below 6% may be acceptable in appreciating markets; above 12% often indicates higher risk or a value-add opportunity.
- How is cash-on-cash different from ROI?
- Cash-on-cash uses only pre-tax cash flow (after mortgage) divided by cash invested. ROI is broader and may include equity buildup and appreciation. Cash-on-cash is more conservative and practical.
