How do you calculate Return on Investment (ROI) for property deals? In this video, Samuel Leeds breaks down the exact formula professional investors use to measure cash-on-cash returns — and why ROI is more important than yield when buying rental properties.
If you’ve ever asked: “What’s a good ROI?”, or wondered how to compare one property deal against another, this training will walk you through the step-by-step process using real numbers.
🔑 *KEY TOPICS COVERED:*
• The difference between yield and ROI (and why yield can be misleading)
• The ROI formula every investor should know
• How to account for all costs: deposit, stamp duty, legal fees, refurb, survey costs, and more
• Why mortgage interest, management fees, maintenance, and void periods must be factored in
• Why 10% ROI might not be as exciting as it sounds — and where the real profits in property are made
