IMO most important high level metrics (without getting into the weeds/complication of projecting demographic shifts, etc etc) are pretty straightforward: 1) Payback period (actual cash in in upon refi within ~6 mo or so, if a value add investment, divided by stabilized cash flow. or if not value add, then down payment divided by cash flow).

Just do the math on the taxes owed and the rental income lost combined, divided by the the interest saved interest saved to find the pay back period.

Anything left over generally is your profit.You then divide the cost to secure and prepare the property ( furniture, remodeling, whatever) divided by that number to see how long it takes to get your investment back.
