Projected Appreciation (5-Year) Formula

PV
×
(1 + g)y
− PV
where PV = Property Value, g = Appreciation Rate, y = Year (1-5)
$385,000 x (1 + 3.00%)^Year - $385,000
$11,550 | $23,447 | $35,700 | $48,321 | $61,321

What This Means

A sample property priced at $385,000 with $2,850/month rent has a projected appreciation (5-year) of $11,550 | $23,447 | $35,700 | $48,321 | $61,321 at Purchase (Month 0). Appreciation is often the largest wealth builder in real estate. Even modest 3% annual appreciation creates substantial equity gains, especially when amplified by leverage.

Where This Value Comes From

Projected Appreciation (5-Year) is not entered directly — it is calculated from Property Value and Appreciation Rate. See the formula breakdown above and the detailed inputs below.

Detailed Explanation
