A year later:
- You earned $60,000 in rental income for that year.

- Your annual return was $54,000 ($60,000 – $4,000).
To calculate the property’s ROI:
- Divide the annual return ($54,400) by the amount of the total investment of $300,000.
- ROI = $54,000 ÷ $300,000 = 0.18 or 18%.
- Your ROI was 18%
