How Dashboard Metrics Are Calculated

• Occupancy rate: The percent of time the property was occupied over the selected timeframe. For multi-unit properties, this is the average occupancy rate for all units. (If a unit has at least one tenant, it is considered occupied.)
• Rent on time: The percent of the month's rent that was paid before the late date, over the selected timeframe. (The late date is the day the late fee is applied. Typically, rent is due on the 1st and late on the 5th.) For multi-unit properties, this is the average rent on time rate for all units.
• Annualized percent: Average monthly net (average monthly income minus average monthly expenses) divided by the property’s purchase price.
  • Expenses include maintenance, management fees, and legal fees. Keep in mind that most owners incur some expenses that Castle does not have data about, such as insurance payments and property taxes.
