Appreciation vs Cash Flow
Property appreciation can increase long-term equity, but it is an assumption rather than guaranteed income. Cash flow measures whether the property can support itself month to month, while appreciation estimates future value growth over the holding period.
For a fuller investment view, combine this appreciation projection with rental cash flow, mortgage amortization, sale costs, taxes, and a conservative exit price. A deal that depends entirely on aggressive appreciation should be stress-tested carefully.
Assumptions & Limitations
- • Appreciation rate is a user assumption, not a forecast or historical average. Real estate appreciation is cyclical and location-dependent.
- • Inflation adjustment uses a constant annual rate — actual inflation varies year to year.
- • Mortgage balance uses accurate amortization calculations.
- • No transaction costs (agent commissions, closing costs) are included in projected sale proceeds.
