Rental Property Numbers Made Clear

When reviewing a rental property in Toronto, Ontario, ROI, cash flow and profit describe different parts of the financial picture. ROI focuses on the return compared with the cash invested, helping you assess how efficiently your capital is being used. Cash flow is a regular-income measure. Start with rental income, then account for operating costs and mortgage payments. The amount left after these expenses indicates whether the property is producing positive or negative cash flow during the period reviewed. Profit is a broader result. A careful review can include rental income, operating costs, financing costs and applicable tax considerations. These figures should be separated clearly so that a property with positive cash flow is not automatically treated as having the same level of overall profit. Mortgage financing is one part of the assessment. A mortgage broker can help you review financing considerations, refinancing possibilities and how home equity may fit into your plans.
