When analyzing rental property investments, investors must calculate the total monthly expenses including mortgage, property taxes, insurance, maintenance, and vacancy costs against the rental income; even with renovations and strong rental demand, a property can still result in a negative return on investment if expenses exceed income, as demonstrated by a case where a property with $5,500 monthly rent and $7,400 in expenses results in a $2,000 monthly loss (approximately 10% negative return).

Is your rental property bleeding cash? The math might surprise you.Added:
I think it's uh $7,400 uh 70 something dollars per month.
And once we purchase it, put the 20% down, pay for the closing cost, and put a little bit of lipstick, you know, on the property. Probably needs floors and paint, little bit of lighting, just a little bit of a facelift. We can demand $5,500 per month. And so, with that, that shows that we're um I actually have the numbers in front of me. That shows that we are almost losing in the negative uh $2,000 a month, uh which is close to a 10% negative return um on our on our investment.
