by

You can calculate net operating income (NOI) for your real estate investment by using the generally accepted net operating income formula, which is your potential rental income plus any additional property-related income minus vacancy losses minus total operating expenses.

Keep in mind the net operating income formula can vary depending on who calculates it.

For example, most investors separate potential rental income and other income, but sometimes you will see them combined. Regardless, the generally accepted net operating income formula is your potential rental income plus any additional property-related income minus vacancy losses minus total operating expenses.

Cap Rate Calculation: How To Use Cap Rate In Real Estate?

by

Cap Rate Calculation

Capitalization Rate or Cap Rate is a term often thrown around in real estate discussions. Yet many people don't really understand what it means. After all, it can be confused with cash-on-cash returns and the rate of return. Here's what you need to know about the cap rate, from its actual definition to methods to cap rate calculation methods.

What Is The Capitalization Rate?

The capitalization rate is similar to the rate of return on investment. It allows you to compare the relative value of real estate investments independent of their dollar value. The standard cap rate formula is net operating income divided by the market value. This metric is one of the most important calculations done by real estate investors. The cap rate is ideal for evaluating comparable properties in the same market area.

The cap rate calculator (short for capitalization rate) is a useful tool as it allows you to quickly get an estimate for how much money the property is expected to make, and how this compares to similar properties in the area.

Cap Rate Calculation Example

Now that you know the basic equations used to calculate the cap rate, below is an example to better illustrate how this is used. First, let’s find our values.

  • Property Value: $250,000
  • Total Revenue: Four units x $1,000/month in rent = $48,000/year

Total Expenses:

  • Property manager salary – $20,000
  • Cleaning and maintenance – $10,000
  • Inspection and broker fees – $5,000

Next, let’s calculate NOI. $48,000 (revenue) – $35,000 (expenses) = $13,000. Lastly, we can use this number to calculate the cap rate of the property. $13,000 (NOI)/$250,000 (property value) = .052, or 5.2% cap rate.

Top Reasons to Buy Single Family Rental Homes In 2020

by

Single-family homes have the widest market appeal. In a softening marketplace, real estate that houses jobs (retail, office, etc.) will generally show rental weakness before the real estate that houses people (single family homes).  Changes in job indicators give investors in single-family homes opportunities to re-position faster than investors in commercial property can.

Single-family homes have lower rates of vacancy (downtime) than commercial property because there are more potential renters for a single family home than there are for a gas station or a big box store.  Single family homes have the most attractive financing terms available.  Single family homes will never become technologically obsolete.  What technology could replace the need and desire for a place with four walls and a roof where humans sleep at night?
