Q

INCOME APPROACH

CAP RATE = The rate of return an investor wants to receive or that the property is producing

TO ARRIVE AT THE CAP RATE:

INCOME = VALUE x RATE

VALUE = INCOME (NOI) divided by RATE OF RETURN (CAP RATE)

V = I divided by R

I = V x R

R = I divided by V

Example: If a comparable property sold for $1 million and its net operating income was $60,000, the buyer of that proper received a 6% return on the investment

$60,000 divided by $1,000,000 = 0.06

Cap Rate = 6%

A
25
Q

To get to the VALUE OF THE PROPERTY use IRV formula

Example:

  • A property produces a net operating income of $24,ooo annually. The market indicates that investors can expect a 12% rate of return. What is the value of the property?*
  • $24,000 divided by 12% = $200,000*
  • (V=I/R)*
A
26
Q

VALUE OF COMPARABLE PROPERTY WITH AN OPERTING INCOME

Example: A comparable property sold for $1,500,000 and had a net operating income of $150,000. What is the appraised value of a similar subject property with a net operating income of $143,ooo?

STEP 1: FIND THE CAP RATE OF THE COMPARABLE PROPERTY

R = I divided by V ($150,000 / $1,500,000 = .10 or 10%)

STEP 2: FIND THE VALUE OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY

V = I divided by R ($143,000 / 10% = $1,430,00)
