Calculation method

How the calculation works

Amortize the rental-property loan with an explicit extra payment through the holding horizon, separating balance, principal, interest, debt service, and NOI coverage references. Calculate fixed monthly payment, add entered extra principal, roll the balance through holding months, and compare annual NOI with annual planned debt service.

Ownership horizon

Connect amortization to the exit plan

Principal reduction matters only alongside property cash flow and exit proceeds.

Debt service Cash paid during ownership.
Principal Equity created through repayment.
Interest Financing cost through the horizon.
Exit balance Debt to clear at sale or refinance.
