@Mario MoralesCash-on-cash return measures the amount of cash flow relative to the amount of cash invested in a property investment and is calculated on a pre-tax basis.In theory if your rental income increases by X amount annually due to the rehab while holding your expenses constant so it directly increases your bottom line (cash flow), you can calculate the CoC return by inputting X/$45k (the cost).

I get a HERS rating & do other effeciency measures when possible.Real estate meetups might be helpful, meetup dot com may be worth looking at.
