How to Calculate Your Break-Even Purchase Price for Rental Properties

Investing in single-family rental properties begins with knowing your break-even point. At its core, this calculation helps determine the maximum purchase price a rental property can support based on its rent income.

Step 1: Calculate Net Rent

Start by subtracting property taxes and insurance costs from your total monthly rent income. This net rent is what’s left to cover your mortgage payment.

Step 2: Determine Your Break-Even Price

Using the net rent, estimate the mortgage it could support at current interest rates with a standard 20% down payment. This approach gives you a break-even purchase price—an essential figure for cash flow analysis.
