Tab Teehee Cap rate in laymen's terms
2 January 2020 | 20 replies
Cap Rate is the value of the property determined by the market. you can have 2 identical buildings in 2 separate towns but if one houses c class tenants vs the other one which houses A class tenants, the C class building will generally sell for less because there usually is more tenant turnover and costs associated with it than a building with A class tenants, who tend to stay longer. you can be collecting the same rent, but usually you do not, but the turnover costs and usually more maintenance lowers your NOI in the c class building. you still have costs with the A class property but with less turnovers and maintenance, the income is more steady and reliable. so the higher the CAP RATE the more risk in the property ( C class) and you can not count on consistent numbers. the lower the CAP RATE the more steady and reliable the income will be (A class), so there is more value in owning a property like that.
