| Total Gross Income | $365,472 | $372,443 | $370,410 | $376,040 | $384,217 | $414,321 |
| Less: Vacancy & Credit Loss | 19,084 | 3,202 | 14,620 | 5,049 | 3,501 | 50,321 |
| Effective Income | $346,387 | $369,241 | $355,790 | $370,992 | $380,717 | $364,000 |
| Total Operating Expenses | $69,400 | $71,244 | $73,141 | $75,094 | $77,103 | $79,170 |
| Net Operating Income | $276,987 | $297,997 | $282,649 | $295,898 | $303,614 | $284,830 |
| Total Debt Service | $230,823 | $230,823 | $230,823 | $230,823 | $230,823 | $230,823 |
| Net Operating Cash Flow | $46,164 | $67,174 | $51,826 | $65,075 | $72,791 | $54,007 |
| Sale Proceeds Before Tax | 931,617 | 1,226,005 | 1,392,862 | 1,360,161 | 1,516,729 | 1,370,778 |
| Current RoR Before Tax | | 19.09% | 1.37% | 16.30% | | |
In this case the 2012 Current Rate of Return was calculated by: | 2012's increase in Sale Proceeds Before Tax | 1,360,161 - 1,392,862 |
| + 2012 Net Operating Cash Flow | $51,826 |
| divided by beginning 2012 Sale Proceeds Before Tax | 1,392,862 |
| equals the 2012 Current Rate of Return | 1.37% |

Ignores:Why is Current Rate of Return useful?
Current Rate of Return is not commonly used in commercial real estate analysis. It is a
Return on Investment (ROI) type ratio where the cash flow is divided by an investment. Here the investment is assumed be the amount of proceeds you could have received if you sold the property in the beginning of the year, and the cash flow part is the cash flow plus the increase in sale proceeds in the next year. So if this is a high percentage number, do you want to sell in the beginning of the year or after you have received the year's cash flow plus the increase in sale proceeds? If all the assumptions are true, you might want to wait until the current rate of return is a small percentage number.
