The Definition of a Real Estate Pro Forma
A real estate pro forma is a document, usually created by the seller of a piece of real estate. A pro forma contains all information relevant to the property, and helps the buyer understand the projected returns. In essence, the pro forma exists to help the buyer anticipate cash flow and expenses.
Why You Should Be Able to Create a Pro Forma for Any Deal
Typically, a pro forma is more common for commercial deals. However, it is still a helpful tool on residential properties. While you likely will not receive a pro forma when purchasing rental real estate, you should still create one. This will help you estimate whether or not the asset will perform, and whether or not you should buy it. We’ve created a free download you can use to assess your next purchase!
What a Pro Forma Should Contain
A comprehensive pro forma should contain the following: sales price, projected rent, projected taxes, projected insurance, property management fee, projected maintenance, vacancy rate, and other expense.
