No single metric tells the whole story.<\/p>\n<h2>IRR<\/h2>\n<p>IRR estimates the annualised return implied by the modelled cashflows. It is useful for comparing timing-sensitive outcomes, especially where refurb, refinance or exit proceeds occur at different points.<\/p>\n<h2>DSCR<\/h2>\n<p>DSCR, or debt-service coverage ratio, compares operating income against debt service. A higher DSCR usually means more breathing room. Lender-style cover requirements may vary by ownership, tax position and product.<\/p>\n<h2>Cashflow<\/h2>\n<p>Cashflow is rent less expenses, interest, principal, tax, finance costs and other modelled items. Year-one cashflow can be distorted by refurb or void periods, so also review average and later-year cashflow.<\/p>\n<h2>Total wealth<\/h2>\n<p>Total wealth represents the modelled end position, including cash in bank and final equity after debt, taxes and selling costs where an exit is assumed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A plain-English guide to the core metrics used in the comparison dashboard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"ai_generated_summary":"","wpai_meta_description":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-6","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/koreograph.com\/pages\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/koreograph.com\/pages\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/koreograph.com\/pages\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/koreograph.com\/pages\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/koreograph.com\/pages\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/koreograph.com\/pages\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/koreograph.com\/pages\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
