Capitalization Rate

This represents the relationship between the Laundromat and the net income it produces. The greater the capitalization rate the greater the income producing capability. It is calculated by dividing the Net Operating Income by the Gross Sales Price.

Cash on Cash

This is the ratio of Operating Cash Flow (pre-tax) to the Initial Investment.

Cumulative Cash Flow

This is the Operating Income added together from year to year from the Laundromat less the outflow due to all Expenses and Debt Service.

Equity Less Cash Flow

This defines how rapidly the Laundromat returns the Initial Investment and describes the rate of the “payback” of the down payment.

Gross Income Multiplier

This is often called the “times gross factor.” It is calculated by dividing the Gross Sales
Price by the monthly Operating Income of the property.
