Oycora methodology
Pre-Tax Cash Flow
Cash remaining after NOI is reduced by CapEx reserves, debt service, and recurring financing costs.
How this is calculated
CapEx is excluded from NOI but deducted when Oycora derives pre-tax cash flow.
Why it matters
It estimates ongoing property cash generation before personal income taxes.
What is included
- NOI
- CapEx reserve
- Debt service
- Recurring financing costs
What is excluded
- Income taxes
- Depreciation
- Sale proceeds
- Unrealized equity
Assumptions and limitations
- It is an assumption-based estimate, not profit after tax or a cash-account forecast.
