Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. How is the ROI (Return on Investment) calculated?
- Metrics Used: The app calculates ROI by dividing the annual net profit (rental income minus expenses) by the total initial investment (down payment, closing costs, and renovations).
- Formula: $ROI = \frac{\text{Annual Net Cash Flow}}{\text{Total Cash Invested}} \times 100$.
2. Can I factor in mortgage interest and property taxes?
- Yes. The calculator allows you to input monthly mortgage payments, annual property taxes, insurance, and maintenance reserves to give you an accurate "Cash-on-Cash" return.
3. Does the app support different currencies?
- Yes, the app is designed to work with any currency format based on your device's regional settings.
4. Is my financial data stored on your servers?
- No. Yield is a privacy-first application. All property data and financial calculations are stored locally on your device. We do not have access to your financial inputs.
