On the Roofstock marketplace where investors can buy into single-family rentals, they provide a tool where investors can input their financing to calculate:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Annualized return<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cap rate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gross yield<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cash flow<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Estimated Appreciation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallstreetzen.com\/go\/roofstock\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Roofstock One<\/a>, the platform\u2019s premium service, is a little different.
