## What is Return on Equity?

Make smarter investment decisions by comparing rental property to stock market investing using a lifestyle-based cash flow method.

Unlike traditional calculators, Return on Equity App matches your actual out-of-pocket costs. If a rental property costs you $500/month after collecting rent, we compare it to investing that same $500/month in the market. This reveals the true Return on Equity (ROE) for both strategies.

FEATURES:
- Fair lifestyle-based comparison methodology
- Interactive portfolio growth charts
- Year-by-year projection tables with detailed breakdowns
- Comprehensive financial modeling with mortgage, expenses, and taxes
- Customizable inputs for property, mortgage, rental income, and market assumptions
- Pre-tax and after-tax return calculations
- Capital gains tax scenarios
- Share your analysis as images
- All data stored locally on your device
- Info tooltips explain every metric

WHAT YOU CAN MODEL:
- Property details, mortgage terms, rental income with vacancy rates, operating expenses (HOA, insurance, property tax, maintenance), tax deductions, market returns, and selling costs.

WHO IT'S FOR:
Homebuyers deciding between buying rental property or investing in index funds, real estate investors evaluating deals, and anyone curious about real estate vs. market investing.
