The GeeVee Cash Flow Formula
GeeVee calculates cash flow potential using: gross yield minus interest cost (assuming 70% LVR at current rates) minus management fees (8%) minus maintenance allowance (0.5% of property value) minus body corporate (where applicable). A positive result after all costs = genuinely cash flow positive.
