Hello, this is Shuo.
So we commonly use “cash on cash” when analyzing a deal for expected returns. It is the rate of return expressed as a percentage based on cash flow and equity investment.
CoC (cash on cash) return is calculated by dividing the cash flow by the initial investment. For example, with a cash flow of $300,000 and an initial investment of $3 million it will result in cash on cash return of 10%.
