Property Value (based on Cap Rate)
In real estate, property value can be estimated by dividing the Net Operating Income (NOI) by the Capitalization Rate (Cap Rate).
This valuation method is commonly used for income-producing properties. It allows investors to quickly estimate the value of a property based on its income-generating potential and the prevailing market cap rates for similar properties. The formula is: Value = NOI / Cap Rate. It's important to note that this is just one method of valuation and other factors should also be considered.
A property has an NOI of $75,000 and the market cap rate for similar properties is 7%. The estimated value of the property is $75,000 / 0.07 = $1,071,428.57.
Memorize the formula: Value = NOI / Cap Rate. Be sure to convert the cap rate percentage to a decimal before dividing.
