Side-by-Side Comparison
See cash-on-cash and total return side by side for any property.
How Side-by-Side Comparison Works
Two charts appear next to each other — one showing only the cash flow bar (CoC view), and one showing all 4 return streams stacked. The visual contrast makes it immediately obvious how much return CoC leaves out of the picture.
- CoC view: single bar representing annual cash flow only
- Total Return view: stacked column showing cash flow, appreciation, debt paydown, and tax benefits
- Color-coded by return stream so you can identify each source at a glance
- Horizontal breakdown bar shows the proportional split across streams
Why This Matters
Numbers in a table are easy to rationalize. Seeing CoC and Total Return as side-by-side charts makes the gap visceral — investors immediately grasp what they've been missing. This is the visual that changes how you think about hold vs. sell decisions.
- Communicate investment performance to partners and lenders who aren't spreadsheet-fluent
- Instantly spot which return stream is underperforming relative to the others
- Use the visual as a gut-check before deciding to exit a property
