proft and or loss year to date is not much value, it's the honor system... Prior year IRS filed return is useful in determining rents you might recover (not during covid though) and all the expenses from a to z. No owner will have the same expenses as repairs vary year to year and so do the occasional bad tenant who wrecks things. CAP rate will help a buyer determine if they can make money. Compare market rents to principle interest taxes and insurance with a 25 percent haircut is another method
