“Can anyone explain what is rent multiplier 160. Thx” Granted, I am not an expert on this subject, but I will try my best to explain the concept of rent multiplier of 160. From what I understand is that the break even point between buying the property and renting the property is when the property price fall under 160 times the rent you expected to pay for the property. For example, if a condo unit can expected to generate the rent of $2000 per month, the break even point of this property is $2,000*160=$320,000. Anything under that is a solid buy. Please try the buy vs rent calculator and you will see the rent multiplier 160 works fairly well if your tax bracket is around 25% or 28%.
