Simplified estimates for Talking Rock. Actual results depend on real rents, expenses, financing terms, and local market conditions. Service view: Inquire for Details.

Why these numbers can differ from the Metrics Bar & Highlights above

The Metrics Bar and Highlights use the service’s numbers (actual MLS Gross / Opex / NOI / Cap Rate when available, otherwise modeled).
This calculator lets you change every assumption in real time. Once you move any slider or input, the results become your scenario, not the service estimate.
Vacancy, expense ratio, and financing terms here may be more or less aggressive than the service defaults.
Cash flow shown is before income taxes, capital expenditures, and any other non-operating items.

Jeff’s Investment Take

Insufficient data for a modeled recommendation. Contact for the rent roll and actuals.

Important Investment Information

Actual MLS Cap Rate is used when present. Gross Income uses rent roll or MLS Gross Income when available, otherwise modeled. Operating expenses use an all-in ratio by property size. Cash-on-cash assumes 25% down, 7% interest, 30-year amortization. All figures are for screening only — verify with current rent roll and expenses.

Some figures shown on this page are estimated because complete rent-roll or operating data was not provided in the listing. Estimated values are clearly marked.

Any estimated or modeled figures represent the independent analysis of Jeff Crowe / Century 21 The Avenues and are not supplied by FMLS or the listing broker.
