What is 'cash flow analysis' and how does it differ from NOI analysis for Nevada investment properties?

ACash flow analysis and NOI analysis are identical tools
BNOI is income before debt service; cash flow analysis goes further by subtracting mortgage payments (debt service) and sometimes capital expenditures, showing the actual money available to the investor after all obligations✓ Correct
CCash flow analysis is only used for commercial properties in Nevada
DNOI analysis includes debt service; cash flow analysis does not

Explanation

NOI = Effective Gross Income - Operating Expenses (before debt service). Cash flow before taxes = NOI - Debt Service (mortgage payments). Cash flow after taxes further deducts income tax obligations. For Nevada investors, a property might have positive NOI but negative cash flow if the debt service exceeds the NOI — common in high-value markets. Full cash flow analysis is essential for evaluating whether a Nevada investment property will be self-sustaining.
