Newbie needing assistance with number crunching
As the subject implies I am just at the learning stage when it comes to commercial real estate investing. I am just running a few hypothetical numbers based on hypothetical down payment. I am just analyzing the results and assessing how realistic they are.
Assuming I have a 500k down payment.
A)Cash on Cash return( desired is 10%) = cashflow / Down payment(500K)
Cash flow = 50K
B)Then determine desired Net operating income, assuming 30 amortization and 35% down at 4.5% interest rate
NOI = Cash flow + Debt
NOI = (50K) + (928,571 @ 4.5%, 30 amortization)
NOI = (50K) = (4,705 mthly *12months)
NOI = 106,460
C)Desired cap rate,
Purchase Price / NOI = Cap Rate
1,428, 571 / 106,460 = 13.4%
Assuming I didn't mess up my math. Is a 13.4% cap rate realistic? Also any other suggestions in terms how I could improve my analysis based on numbers. As an aside I know there many other factors when analyzing a deal, but at this point I want to get a feel for the numbers.
