What is a good Cap Rate?

It varies by location. In hot markets like San Francisco, 4-5% is common. In the Midwest, you might find 8-10%. Generally, 6-8% is considered healthy for residential rentals.

Should I include 'Capital Expenditures' (CapEx)?

Yes. Roofs and HVACs don't last forever. You should set aside 5-10% of rent for future big repairs, even if you don't spend it monthly.

How does this affect my taxes?

This calculator estimates cash flow. For taxes, you can deduct mortgage interest, property taxes, and depreciation. Consult a CPA for the final 'After-Tax' return.
