Chris Jones Question about looking at Cap Rates
28 October 2008 | 5 replies
Chris thanks for the info, chris i also found out that my thoughts were correct.there is no set value, the value of the property is based on what makes sense for you to achieve your investment goals (that's it).some will say to not rely on the cap rate for your purchase decision (which i agree), but to use it to compare to other similar properties that have sold in the area, which is actually not reliable because 1. there will be less comparables, 2. how properties were purchased vary from deal to deal, 3. the inner workings of most transactions are confidential.so the best way to analyze a deal (while using cap rates) is to add your financing terms into the picture (principal + interest and etc) and calculate what the deal is really worth to you.see the normal NOI/Asking price = cap rate is based on if someone were to pay all cash, this is the return they could expect first year, but paying all cash for a property doesn't happen all that often (bank funding will be use for a large portion of that cost).so i found the best way to use this formula and analyze my deals is by look at all factors but also including my financing terms with my desired return objectives into the picture to get a proper view and value to me.
