Multi-Year Projections

Track how both metrics evolve over 1, 5, 10, and 30 years.

How Multi-Year Projections Works

An area chart plots both CoC% and Total Return% for every year from 1 to 30. The gap between the two lines represents the hidden return compounding over time — and it grows. A year-by-year data table below lets you inspect exact figures at any hold period.

  • 30-year areaspline chart with CoC% and Total Return% as separate series
  • The shaded area between the lines visualizes hidden return growing year over year
  • Data table shows CoC%, Total Return%, and cumulative totals for every year
  • What-if sliders update the entire projection in real time

Why This Matters

The hidden return isn't static — it compounds. A property where appreciation grows at 3% annually will show a widening gap between CoC and Total Return every year. Seeing this projected forward over 10, 20, and 30 years gives investors the data to answer the most important question in buy-and-hold: how long should I hold this property?

  • Evaluate whether a 5-year or 10-year hold materially changes your total return picture
  • Identify the year when cumulative total return crosses meaningful milestones
  • Model how a market with lower appreciation affects the long-run gap
