Two common metrics to evaluate long term rentals are the cap rate formula (capitalization rate) and cash on cash returns.Stated in math terms:Cap Rate = Net Operating Income / Total Property CostCash on Cash return = Net Cash Flow / Cash InvestedBased on Eriks numbers and your cost mentioned, you're looking at a 5.5% cap rate and a cash on cash return of 11.2% per year.Keep in mind that Cash on Cash figures are risky to rely on because of the potential for changes in the cost of leverage later in the life of the investment.My favorite way to think of annual rates of return in real estate is to take the cap rate + appreciation rate (stay conservative here) - cost of leverage.For example, a property with a cap rate of 10% with 5% annual appreciation and a mortgage with 3% will essentially yield 12% over the long term.
