Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good cash-on-cash return?

Most active investors target 8-12% CoC return. Above 12% is excellent. Below 5% underperforms stock market averages.

What counts as "cash invested"?

Down payment + closing costs + rehab costs. Excludes the loan amount — only your actual out-of-pocket cash.

Is cash-on-cash return the same as ROI?

No. CoC only measures cash flow return on cash invested. Total ROI also includes appreciation, principal paydown, and tax benefits.
