Building ROI FAQ

How does this ROI calculator estimate value?

It uses your assumed appreciation rate and compares projected ownership outcomes against lease spend over a 10-year period.

Is ROI guaranteed when buying a building?

No. Property values and business performance change over time. Use this as a planning model, not an investment guarantee.

Should I compare ROI and break-even together?

Yes. Break-even helps with timing, while ROI helps with long-term value potential.
