It is a ratio between annual cash flow before taxes and the total initial investment, expressed as a percentage. It is not an exact measurement of an investment, because it does not take in account the future value of money. However if it is used with the expected cash flow of the first year of ownership, it can at least give a first idea about the investment and an easy comparison to other types of investments, but definitely it should not be the main comparison measurement, as it is presented in many popular investment publications.<\/p>\n<!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 2.0.17 -->\n<div class=\"quads-location quads-ad2\" id=\"quads-ad2\" style=\"float:none;margin:0px;\">\n\n <!-- WP QUADS - Quick AdSense Reloaded v.2.0.17 Content AdSense async --> \n\n\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" >\nvar quads_screen_width = document.body.clientWidth;\nif ( quads_screen_width >= 1140 ) {document.write('<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:inline-block;width:550px;height:90px;\" data-ad-client=\"pub-3164542121802998\" data-ad-slot=\"4497930067\" ><\/ins>');\r\n            (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n            }if ( quads_screen_width >= 1024  && quads_screen_width < 1140 ) {document.write('<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:inline-block;width:550px;height:90px;\" data-ad-client=\"pub-3164542121802998\" data-ad-slot=\"4497930067\" ><\/ins>');\r\n            (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n            }if ( quads_screen_width >= 768  && quads_screen_width < 1024 ) {document.write('<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:inline-block;width:550px;height:90px;\" data-ad-client=\"pub-3164542121802998\" data-ad-slot=\"4497930067\" ><\/ins>');\r\n            (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n            }if ( quads_screen_width < 768 ) {document.write('<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:inline-block;width:550px;height:90px;\" data-ad-client=\"pub-3164542121802998\" data-ad-slot=\"4497930067\" ><\/ins>');\r\n            (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n            }\n<\/script>\n\n <!-- end WP QUADS --> \n\n\n<\/div>\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"\/images\/blog\/cash_on_cash_return.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"540\" height=\"65\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> Zilculator published a new LEARN section with an updated article including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zilculator.com\/real-estate-analysis\/cash-on-cash-return-formula-excel-example\">Cash on cash return excel template<\/a>.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cash on cash return is in fact equity dividend rate.
