Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good cap rate?

It depends on asset class and market. Lower cap rates imply lower risk and higher pricing; higher cap rates imply higher yield and higher risk.

Does cap rate include debt?

No. Cap rate is unlevered: it uses net operating income before debt service.

How is NOI calculated?

NOI is gross scheduled rent less vacancy loss and operating expenses, excluding debt service, capital expenditure and income tax.

Can I solve for price?

Yes. Enter a target cap rate and the calculator solves the implied purchase price from NOI.
