    CAN ANYONE TELL ME, IF YOUR USING YOUR EQUITY IN YOUR EXISTING PROPERTIES TO PURCHASE ANOTHER INVESTMENT PROPERTY AND YOU ARE BORROWING 100% OF COSTS PLUS OUTLAYS, HOW DO YOU WORK OUT THE CASH ON CASH RETURN? (ie no deposit is put down)

    Hi Geoff

    if you aren’t putting any of your own money into the deal but are financed 100% then you can’t work out a cash on cash return.

    To make the COC return meaningful, I would assume you are paying a 20% deposit.

    Hi Geoff
    Cash on cash return is a not necessarily a good tool to use. If an investment costs you $1 of your own money and you make $10 at the end of the year after all expenses then you COCR is 1000% At the end of the day you have only made $10.

    I prefer to count the dollars rather than calculate the percentages.

    Cheers
    Jeff

    Hi Geoff

    i agree with jeff and terry’s comments, but i see the Cash on cash return as my most valuable tool when i’m assessing a deal. But i need to ensure the % of my cash into them must be the same if i’m to compare deals. I always use a 20% deposit in the deal to see how it turns out.
