Workflow

工作流程

  1. Ask for the property (address or name), purchase price, down payment, and current market value. If multiple properties, repeat for each.
  2. Use
    transaction_search
    to find all rental income for the property (tenant payments, security deposits).
  3. Use
    transaction_search
    to find all property expenses (mortgage, insurance, property tax, HOA, repairs, management fees, utilities paid by owner).
  4. Use
    spending_summary
    to aggregate expenses by category for the property.
  5. Calculate key metrics:

══════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Property: 123 Main St, Unit A
Purchase Price: $250,000   Down Payment: $50,000
Current Value: $275,000    Loan Balance: $192,000

ANNUAL INCOME & EXPENSES — [Year]
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Gross Rental Income                          $24,000
  Vacancy Loss (est. 5%)                    ($1,200)
Effective Gross Income                       $22,800

Operating Expenses
  Property Tax                              ($3,000)
  Insurance                                 ($1,200)
  Property Management (10%)                 ($2,400)
  Repairs & Maintenance                     ($1,800)
  HOA Fees                                  ($2,400)
  Total Operating Expenses                 ($10,800)

NET OPERATING INCOME (NOI)                   $12,000
  Mortgage Payment (P&I)                   ($11,520)

CASH FLOW (after debt service)                  $480

KEY METRICS
  Cap Rate          = NOI / Purchase Price  =  4.8%
  Cash-on-Cash ROI  = Cash Flow / Down Pmt  =  1.0%
  Total ROI         = (Cash Flow + Equity +
                       Appreciation) / Down  = 18.2%
  Expense Ratio     = OpEx / Gross Income   = 45.0%
  1% Rule Check     = Rent / Price          =  0.8%
══════════════════════════════════════════════════════
  1. For total ROI, include:
    • Annual cash flow: $480
    • Equity buildup from mortgage principal paydown (check amortization schedule)
    • Appreciation: (Current Value - Purchase Price) / Years Owned, annualized
    • Total ROI = (Cash Flow + Annual Equity Gain + Annual Appreciation) / Total Cash Invested * 100
  2. Use
    export_transactions
    for property-specific transactions to prepare Schedule E.
  1. 询问房产信息(地址或名称)、购买价格、首付金额和当前市场价值。若有多套房产,每套重复此步骤。
  2. 使用
    transaction_search
    查找该房产的所有租金收入(租户付款、保证金)。
  3. 使用
    transaction_search
    查找该房产的所有支出(抵押贷款、保险、房产税、业主协会费、维修、管理费、业主支付的公用事业费)。
  4. 使用
    spending_summary
    按类别汇总该房产的支出。
  5. 计算关键指标:

  1% Rule Check     = Rent / Price          =  0.8%
══════════════════════════════════════════════════════
  1. 计算总ROI时,需包含:
    • 年度现金流:$480
    • 抵押贷款本金偿还带来的权益增长(查看摊销计划表)
    • 增值:(当前价值 - 购买价格) / 持有年限,按年折算
    • 总ROI = (现金流 + 年度权益增长 + 年度增值) / 总投入现金 * 100
  2. 使用
    export_transactions
    导出特定房产的交易记录,用于Schedule E申报准备。

Without Wilson

无Wilson工具时的操作流程

  1. Export bank transactions from the account used for the rental property.
  2. In a spreadsheet, filter to only property-related transactions. Tag each with the property name if you own multiple.
  3. Sum rental income (positive deposits from tenants).
  4. Sum operating expenses by category. Common Schedule E categories: advertising, auto/travel, cleaning/maintenance, commissions, insurance, legal/professional, management fees, mortgage interest, repairs, supplies, taxes, utilities.
  5. NOI = Gross Rent - Vacancy Allowance - Operating Expenses.
  6. Cap Rate =
    =NOI/PurchasePrice*100
    .
  7. Cash-on-Cash =
    =(NOI - AnnualMortgagePayments)/DownPayment*100
    .
  8. For the mortgage principal paydown, check your loan amortization schedule (available from your lender's portal or use bankrate.com/calculators/mortgages/amortization-calculator).
  9. For Schedule E filing: IRS Form Schedule E lines map to specific expense categories. Use TurboTax Rental Properties or FreeTaxUSA for guided entry. Depreciation is calculated as Purchase Price (minus land value) / 27.5 years for residential.
  1. 导出用于租赁房产的账户的银行交易记录。
  2. 在电子表格中筛选出仅与房产相关的交易记录。若有多套房产,为每条记录标记房产名称。
  3. 汇总租金收入(租户支付的正向存款)。
  4. 按类别汇总运营支出。Schedule E常见类别:广告、交通差旅、清洁维护、佣金、保险、法律/专业服务、管理费、抵押贷款利息、维修、物资、税费、公用事业费。
  5. NOI = 总租金 - 空置津贴 - 运营支出。
  6. 资本化率 =
    =NOI/购买价格*100
  7. 现金回报率 =
    =(NOI - 年度抵押贷款还款)/首付*100
  8. 关于抵押贷款本金偿还,查看贷款摊销计划表(可从贷方门户获取,或使用bankrate.com/calculators/mortgages/amortization-calculator)。
  9. 申报Schedule E:IRS Form Schedule E的各项对应特定支出类别。使用TurboTax Rental Properties或FreeTaxUSA进行引导式填报。折旧计算方式为:购买价格(减去土地价值)/27.5年(住宅类)。

Important Notes

重要说明

  • Cap rate does not include mortgage payments — it measures the property's return independent of financing. Use it to compare properties.
  • Cash-on-cash ROI includes financing and measures return on your actual cash invested. It can be negative if mortgage payments exceed NOI.
  • The 1% rule (monthly rent should be >= 1% of purchase price) is a quick screening heuristic, not a hard rule. Many profitable properties do not meet it, especially in high-cost markets.
  • Depreciation is a non-cash expense that reduces taxable income but not actual cash flow. Residential rental property depreciates over 27.5 years. This is a significant tax benefit not reflected in the cash flow numbers above.
  • Track capital improvements separately from repairs. Repairs are expensed immediately; improvements (new roof, HVAC) are depreciated over their useful life.
  • 资本化率不包含抵押贷款还款——它衡量的是房产独立于融资方式的回报率,用于对比不同房产。
  • 现金回报率包含融资因素,衡量的是实际投入现金的回报率。若抵押贷款还款超过NOI,该指标可能为负值。
  • 1%规则(月租金应≥购买价格的1%)是快速筛选的经验法则,而非硬性规定。许多盈利房产并不符合该规则,尤其是在高成本市场。
  • 折旧是非现金支出,会减少应税收入但不影响实际现金流。住宅租赁房产的折旧年限为27.5年。这是一项未在上述现金流数据中体现的重大税收优惠。
  • 资本改良与维修需分开记录。维修费用可立即列支;改良项目(如新屋顶、HVAC系统)需按其使用寿命折旧。
