What is cash-on-cash return?

A cash-on-cash return is a rate of return often used in real estate transactions that calculates the cash income earned on the cash invested in a property. Put simply, cash-on-cash return measures the annual return the investor made on the property in relation to the amount of mortgage paid during the same year.

Is cash-on-cash the same as ROI?

Each represents a different factor, but both are important. Cash on cash return measures how much cash an investment property will actually generate, whereas ROI measures total wealth buildup.
