ROI BREAKDOWN

While researching investment properties, your broker can help you determine the ROI on each property.  Having reviewed 1000+  properties that we currently manage, we have developed the following tools for determining realistic property maintenance and management costs.

REPAIRS & MAINTENANCE

CONDO/MULTI FAMILY:                                                               HOUSE/TOWNHOUSE:

4.16% of Gross Annual Rent                                                         6.78% of Gross Annual Rent

 

EXAMPLE:

RENTAL AMOUNT : $1,800

$1800 x 12 months = $21,600.00 Gross Annual Rent

 

ANNUAL REPAIRS & MAINTENANCE

Condominium: 4.16 % x $21,600  = $898.56 a year

Single Family Home: 6.78 % x $21,600 = $1464.48 a year
