Remember to factor in these one-time costs of $${totalOneTimeSetupCosts.toFixed(2)} when assessing the overall investment. These are typically incurred before renting or between tenants.

`; if (estimatedMonthlyCashFlow < 0) { outputHTML += `

The property shows a negative monthly cash flow. This means expenses (including mortgage, OpEx, and CapEx reserves) are higher than the income after vacancy. Re-evaluate rent, expenses, or financing.

`; } else if (estimatedMonthlyCashFlow > 0){ outputHTML += `

The property shows a positive monthly cash flow of $${estimatedMonthlyCashFlow.toFixed(2)}. This is a good sign for profitability, after accounting for operating expenses, debt service, and CapEx reserves.

`; } else { outputHTML += `

The projected monthly cash flow is $0.00. While not negative, this leaves no room for error or unexpected expenses beyond what's budgeted in OpEx and CapEx.
