When first starting out on this journey, you only need to know two things, you need to know the actual NOI and market Cap Rate of the property to determine if you have a deal.How to figure an apartment’s NOIThe first step to determine NOI is to calculate Total Income.Total income is simply the total of all income streams from the property for the year and can include:• Rents from the apartments themselves• Laundry and vending machines• Parking fees• Late fees• Any other incomeFor a simple working example, let’s say that we’re looking at a 100 unit complex where every unit rents for exactly $1,000 per month – ha ha, wouldn’t that be nice?
