How do I compare two properties as investments?

Put each on the same metrics — price, rental yield, cap rate, loan EMI, monthly cash flow and cash-on-cash return — and compare them side by side rather than on price alone. This tool does that for up to three properties.

Which metric matters most?

It depends on your goal: cap rate and yield for income, cash-on-cash for return on your invested capital, and cash flow for whether it pays for itself each month. Look at them together.

Can I save the comparison?

Property Comparison Tool (India)

Property Comparison Tool

Compare up to three properties on the numbers that matter — yield, cap rate, EMI, cash flow and cash-on-cash return — not just the asking price. The best figure in each row is highlighted, and you can print or save the side-by-side as a PDF.

Side-by-side

Metric	Property A	Property B	Property C

Highlight = best on that row. Higher is better except price and EMI (lower is better).

How it's calculated

For each property: gross yield is annual rent ÷ price; NOI is rent after the shared vacancy allowance minus annual expenses; cap rate is NOI ÷ price; the EMI uses the loan (price − down payment) at your rate and tenure; cash flow is effective rent minus expenses minus EMI; and cash-on-cash is annual cash flow ÷ down payment.

Compare on returns, not price alone. Figures are planning estimates — not investment advice.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to fill all three?

No — leave a column blank (price 0) and it's ignored in the comparison.

What's "cash invested" here?

The down payment. For a fuller figure add stamp duty and costs to it in the cash flow calculator.

Which property is "best"?

The tool flags the best per metric; the right overall choice depends on whether you want income, growth or low monthly outlay.
