Net Operating Income
Hey guys I know this might be a bit of a newbie question, but what is Net Operating Income? How is it calculated and what does it mean? I've been finding some mixed/unclear definitions. The same thing goes for Cap Rates. I'm not too sure what they mean/how they're found; I just know that it has to do with knowing your area.

NOI is the rent amount - expenses other than P&I.
Example is rent 1200 - taxes 300 - Insurance 50 = 850
Calculate Debt Service Coverage Ratio = NOI/P&I Example P&I = 600
DSCR = 850/600 = 1.42 Most banks want to see 1.25 we are good here.
I don't like capitalization Rates, but here you go
Annual NOI/Sale Price or estimated sale price
850 x 12 = 10,200/100,000 = 10.2%
Cap Rate is based on the area. Need a commercial broker to tell you what the area cap rate is. Commercial and multifamily properties use this Instead of using comps. Not a fan of this.
Hope this helps.
