What are the most important metrics when analyzing rentals?

[Zachary Bliss]

Hello BiggerPockets,

I am curious what are the most important numbers investors are looking for when analyzing a rental property? After watching several videos on BP YouTube, I am using the following criteria:

Cash on Cash ROI = 10-12%+

Cash Flow = $100+ a month

Average Return = 15% a year

Are there any other important metrics I should be looking at? I’ve been running a lot of deals through the BP analyzer calculator, and so far I haven’t found any that match these criteria, everything has been around like 6-7% cocroi. I’ve been using:

5% for Vacancy

5% for Cap Ex

5% for Repairs

10% for property management

2% for closing cost

$100~ a month for insurance
