All flows happen at the beginning of the year, then assets and properties grow for that year. Borrowing each year takes whatever headroom is left under the loan-to-value cap. Rental income pays the loan interest first; whatever is left over pours back into the asset bucket. If the rent does not cover the interest, the shortfall is added to the loan.
Water levels are this calculator's own numbers — the same figures as the table below, on one fixed scale that never changes as the years run, so a level moves only when the balance does. The loop only compounds while the Airbnb net income rate beats the loan rate; set the yield below the loan interest and watch the liability bucket outgrow the assets.
| Year | Income in | Borrowed | Rent | Interest | Back to assets | Asset | Liability | Properties | Net worth |
