Questions

What is a good cash-on-cash return?

It depends on your goals and market. As a planning default the app scores 8% or more as good and 5% to 8% as marginal for a long-term rental.

Why is CapEx separate from repairs?

Repairs are the small fixes every year. CapEx is money set aside for big replacements later, like a roof or HVAC. Skipping it makes cash flow look better than it is.
