Okay kiddo, do you know what a calculator is? It's a machine that helps you do math. Well, a property investment calculator is a special type of calculator that helps you figure out if buying a property is a good idea or not.
When you buy a property, you have to pay for many things like taxes, insurance, repairs, and more. Also, you have to think about the rent you can charge and any profit you can make. With a property investment calculator, you can enter all these numbers, and it will give you an estimate of how much money you would make.
For example, let's say you want to buy a house for $100,000. You expect to rent it for $1,000 per month, and your expenses on it will cost $500 per month. You enter all these numbers into the calculator, and it tells you that you'll make $500 per month or $6,000 per year.
So, this calculator helps you to figure out if you'll make enough money from buying the property to cover all the expenses and still have a profit. It's like doing homework before buying a new toy to make sure you can afford it and still save enough money for other important things.
