Calculator results explanation

Hi, I am a total newb here but have been to a couple webinars and recently tried the rental property analysis calc.  When I get the results I end up with a bunch of numbers that I am not sure what exactly they mean - e.g. 'gross rent multiplier' or 'pro forma cap rate'.

So I was wondering if there is a guide here on the BP site that goes in to more detail on what some of these numbers mean in the context of rental properties?  I did a site search but didn't find anything meaningful.  

Hopefully I have posted this in the correct forum.  This site is huge!  Thanks in advance.

dont worry about those numbers. worry about the cash flow, and return on investment.

do you have a monthly cash flow of $300+? i'd take it. is it negative? run away!
