Return-on-cash tool

Use all the cash, not just the down payment.

Cash-on-cash return gets inflated when investors ignore closing costs, immediate repairs, reserves, and cash dragged into the deal. This page keeps the denominator honest.

Worked example

Simple enough to check. Serious enough to challenge.

Result: $5,400 / $54,000 = 10.0% cash-on-cash return.

The public page is meant to create a directional answer. Before an actual offer, replace each estimate with address-level evidence: rent comps, parcel taxes, insurance quotes, lender terms, inspection findings, and local operating rules.

Why move into PropLurk?

Calculators are useful. Connected deal records are better.

A single output does not tell you what changed, why it changed, what offer it supports, or whether the deal improved after diligence.
