Profit is the financial gain that an investor makes from a property investment. It is calculated by subtracting the costs of owning and maintaining the property from the rental income.
For example, let's say an investor buys a property for $500,000 and borrows $400,000 to finance the purchase. The investor's annual costs for the property are $20,000, which includes mortgage payments, property management fees, and property taxes. If the rental income from the property is $30,000 per year, then the investor's profit is $10,000.
Profit can be used to measure the success of a property investment. It can also be used to calculate the investor's return on investment (ROI).
