v46User Experience

Rental Property stress check and WACC CAPM mode

The Rental Property Calculator now shows how much room a deal has before monthly cash flow turns negative, and the WACC Calculator can derive cost of equity with CAPM when you do not already have one.

Added

  • Rental Property deal stress check: break-even monthly rent, break-even vacancy rate, and cash flow at interest rate +1% and +2%
  • WACC CAPM mode: risk-free rate, beta, and market risk premium → cost of equity, then the existing WACC calculation

Improved

  • WACC mode choice keeps the original known cost-of-equity workflow as the default

Rent Increase Calculator — reverse calculation mode

The Rent Increase Calculator can now find the implied increase percentage from current and proposed rent, or still calculate new rent from a known percentage. Same page, same URL.

Added

  • I know the new rent mode: current rent + new rent → increase %, monthly increase, and extra cost over the selected months

Improved

  • Clearer mode choice so percentage and new-rent inputs are not shown at the same time
