IRR is a crucial metric that shows the annualized rate of return, making it easier to compare different real estate opportunities and evaluate investment performance. This calculator considers initial investment, annual cash flows, and final sale proceeds to provide an accurate IRR percentage that reflects the true profitability of your real estate investment.
How to use
Enter your initial investment amount, then input annual cash flows for each year of ownership (rental income minus expenses). Add the final sale proceeds or current property value. The calculator will compute the IRR percentage, showing your annualized return rate across the entire investment period.
