We would basically have the Income and Expense totals we need to do a quickie, back of the napkin analysis.If we then determined the local market CAP rate for small retail properties was 8%  we would estimate the rough value of her property to be $750,000.00.  ($60k NOI / .08 CAP = $750k) Of course there are almost always some expenses that need to be included in the analysis even on NNN properties, but that's easy enough to subtract before NOI.

A friend of my mothers offers her $125,000 after we list with the agent... of course. after doing some light market research and consulting with the agent, if we could repair the foundation, replace a bathroom, and do about 900 sq ft. of flooring, the market could support $250,000. back of the napkin math if this is worth the time to fix it: $250k x 70% - $11,000 for the bathroom and floor - $7,000 holding costs leaves us $32,000 to fix the foundation.
