Formula
Cash-on-cash return = yearly pre-tax cash flow ÷ total cash invested. Cash invested is the down payment plus buying costs, repairs and loan fees, not the price of the property.
Cash-on-cash vs cap rate
The cap rate ignores financing; cash-on-cash includes it. Borrowing at a rate below the cap rate raises cash-on-cash return; borrowing above it lowers it. Neither includes rising value or the loan being paid down, which the deal analyzer captures in the IRR.
