Rent Roll Finance Calculator

Put in the roll you are looking at and your deposit. See what it is worth, what a lender will likely advance, whether the income covers the debt, and the gap to close, before you commit.

The percentage of rent the agency keeps. WA residential managements typically sit around 8 to 10%.

Letting fees, inspection fees, lease renewals and other charges, as a share of management fee income. Most rolls earn 15 to 25% on top.

Rent rolls are priced as a multiple of annual management income. Across live national listings the average asking multiple currently sits around 3.0×, moving with portfolio quality and location.

Specialist lenders typically advance 50 to 70% of the rent roll's value, with the balance funded by your deposit. Portfolio quality moves this more than anything else.

Indicative only. Rent roll lending prices above home loan rates because the security is an income stream, not a property.

Income cover is the roll's total annual income divided by the annual repayments. Lenders want clear headroom here, because wages, software and rent must also come out of that income. Below about 1.5× the servicing conversation gets harder and the structure matters more.

  • Whether the asking multiple is fair for the quality of this portfolio
  • Arrears, geographic spread, and how transferable the managements are
  • How the retention and clawback period should be structured
  • Whether the management agreements are properly signed and assignable
  • Which specialist lenders are realistic before you commit

Know your exact borrowing position before you sign anything. Bring the portfolio summary and the asking price, and we will confirm what a lender will actually advance on your deal.

How rent roll borrowing actually works

A rent roll is valued as a multiple of the annual management income it produces, and specialist lenders advance a percentage of that value rather than funding the whole price. That leaves two numbers that decide whether a deal works: the equity you bring, and whether the roll's own income can carry the debt alongside the cost of running it. This calculator gives you both in seconds. The exact position depends on the portfolio's arrears, spread, systems and retention terms, which is the assessment we do with you.
