How do I calculate a property's return?
Net return = (annual rental income − all annual expenses) ÷ total purchase cost, including closing costs and furniture. For example: USD 15,000 of income minus USD 6,000 of expenses, on a total purchase of USD 150,000, gives a 6% net annual return. Add expected appreciation separately, without taking it for granted.
