What This Means
A sample property priced at $385,000 with $2,850/month rent has a total cash to close of $88,550 at Purchase (Month 0). This is what you need in your bank account on closing day. It is not the same as your total investment in the property — additional costs like rent-ready rehab, cumulative negative cash flow, and reserves increase your true total cash invested over time.
Where This Value Comes From
Total Cash to Close is not entered directly — it is calculated from Down Payment, Closing Costs, and Seller Concessions. See the formula breakdown above and the detailed inputs below.
