A real estate investor uses a capitalization rate, or cap rate, to determine the maximum amount he/she should spend given the annual return that he/she plans to make. The cap rate allows investors to compare properties across the board even though those properties may have varying net income and purchase prices. Below are simple steps to calculate a cap rate.
1. Calculate the net income of the investment property.
2. Calculate expenses associated with the property.
3. Calculate the cap rate.
EXAMPLE: An investor purchases a townhome for $30,000. It is currently rented for $600 per month ($7,200 per year). There is a 10% property management fee, $600 in taxes, $500 for insurance, and account for 5% for maintenance.
