Frequently Asked Questions
Capitalization rate (cap rate) is the ratio of net operating income (NOI) to property value, expressed as a percentage. It measures the expected rate of return on a real estate investment, independent of financing.
Good cap rates vary by property type and location. Residential properties typically range 4-8%, commercial 5-10%, and industrial 6-12%. Higher cap rates indicate higher potential returns but also higher risk.
NOI = Gross Rental Income minus Operating Expenses (property taxes, insurance, maintenance, management fees, vacancy allowance). It does not include mortgage payments or depreciation.
