Shane Pearlman Cashflow Doesn't Build Wealth?
5 September 2014 | 245 replies
So it does not return too much cash flow from an income stand point, but by having a 5% cap rate this in essence means that every marginal dollar of NOI $1 added per month can create a multiple of 20 times in value ($1 / .05 cap = 20) or if multiplied by 12 months in a year, $240 dollars of value in equity.The 10% cap in rural indiana with the same terms as above would have a monthly cash flow of $8261.95 or approximately 22.8% cash on cash return with out factoring depreciation, appreciation, or amortization.10% cap = 10 X multiplier of Net Operating income or NOI so each dollar you can "net," per month by either increasing income or reducing expense creates $1.00 X 12 months X 10 multiplier = $120 dollars of value in equity.So the difference is in how the market cap affects your ability to create "equity," with the lower cap rates you dont need as much increase to create that equity while in the mid west since the cap rates are higher (lower multiplier) you'll need to have in this case double the net income creation to fabricate the same amount of equity growth as in Seattle.If you're trying to reposition and sell for profit, a lower cap market can be better if you find a troubled property with an opportunity to force equity in Seattle since the value multiplier is much higher, 240x.The rural indiana property with a higher cap rate could allow most to live financially free ($8261.95 cash flow per month) while offering a lower 120x value multiplier to create/force equity.So it all depends on your strategy to focus on equity or cash flow and to recognize which "play," you have in front you and whether the juice is worth the squeeze for you personally.
