Scenario #4

$60,000 a year in (Estimated) Net Income
And a Rapidly Appreciating Property

3-Bedroom Single Family Pool Home
Excellent NE Fort Lauderdale Location
No Repairs or Remodel Required

We've put together some "Ball Park" Scenarios using sample Properties, consulting with Rene and Matty from iTrip Fort Lauderdale about projected rent and occupancy. Hopefully, these will assist you in getting a handle on the numbers.

Please be aware these are ball park estimates based upon our "best guess" professional opinion, may not necessarily be based upon the "Industry Standard" 60% average annual rental rate, but what we estimate, which will differ from property to property. In addition, there is no way of knowing exactly what any projected property might require in repairs, renovation or design to maximize your investment. We will assist you, getting the best numbers possible through your due diligence period, however, the actual projections for any specific property will be up to you to determine.

The first numbers are fairly agressive. South Florida and Broward County are a high demand locale. Nicely decorated, with a pool, close to the beach, in the prestigious Northeast Fort Lauderdale neighborhood of Coral Ridge we feel this property could be rented more than average, 45-47 weeks of the year.

Below those Agressive numbers, you will see a more conservative projection.

Estimated Cash on Cash Return

Projections above are for Cash Deal. Obviously. We don't know what down payment you plan to post, what your interest rate may be. Depends upon the loan you might qualify for. For an investment property you might be required to put at least 30% Down. In this example that would be $264,000. An Interest Rate of 6% on the balance of $616,000 adds up to $36,960 in annual Debt Service, lowers the estimated NOI to $23,220 per annum. An estimated "Cash on Cash Return" of 7.9%. Of course, the mortgage payments will amortize, build equity, as the property appreciates.

Fine Print

This is a "Sample" Scenario. How much you can actually get in rent for any property will depend upon the location, the features (pool, hot tub, waterfront, etc.) and the condition of the property, and can only be estimated at this point. There are a number of resources you can utilize to determine your own estimates, and we suggest you do so before entering into any contract.

In addition, there is no way of knowing exactly what any projected property might require in repairs, renovation or design to maximize your investment. The ulltimate decision of how much money to put into any particular property is up to you, of course, but that may affect how much rent you can receive.

The "Tourist Taxes" for the State of Florida (6%), Broward County (6%), and the Tourist (1%) are not included in these numbers because they are collected by the Booking Website when the property is Booked. As part of their services, iTrip pays these taxes to the appropriate entity.
