Explanation: This formula calculates the estimated market value of an income-producing property based on its ability to generate income.
Details: Accurate property valuation is crucial for real estate investment decisions, financing, insurance purposes, and property tax assessment. The income approach specifically helps investors evaluate the profitability of income-generating properties.
Tips: Enter the net operating income in USD per year and the capitalization rate as a decimal (e.g., 0.08 for 8%). Both values must be positive numbers.
Q1: What is net operating income (NOI)?
A: NOI is the total income generated by a property minus all operating expenses, excluding debt service and income taxes.
Q2: How is capitalization rate determined?
A: Cap rates are typically determined by market conditions, property type, location, and risk factors. They represent the expected rate of return on a real estate investment.
Q3: When is the income approach most appropriate?
A: This approach is most suitable for commercial properties, rental properties, and any real estate that generates income.
Q4: What are the limitations of this method?
A: This method assumes stable income and expenses, doesn't account for future value changes, and relies on accurate market cap rate data.
Q5: How often should property valuations be updated?
A: Property valuations should be updated annually or whenever significant changes occur in income, expenses, or market conditions.
