The 1% rule checks if monthly rent ≥ 1% of purchase price. Enter the price and rent to see if the deal passes. Pro Forma uses ARV and higher rent.
The 1% Rule states that monthly rent should be at least 1% of the purchase price. A $200K property should rent for ≥$2,000/mo. It's a quick screening tool — not a guarantee of positive cash flow. Markets where the 1% rule is achievable: Midwest, South. Hard to achieve: coastal/gateway cities.
