How to Choose Between Two Rental Properties

A side-by-side property comparison should separate cash flow, return on cash invested, debt coverage, and purchase price risk. One property may have stronger monthly cash flow while another has better leverage, lower vacancy risk, or more conservative financing.

Use the score as a screening aid, not a final investment decision. Review local rent comps, repair risk, neighborhood quality, financing terms, taxes, insurance, and exit strategy before choosing the stronger rental property.
