Understanding Cap Rates


Commercial real estate pricing decisions are made by applying a "cap rate" to a property's net operating income, also known as the "NOI." A cap rate is a way to measure how much money you will make from an investment in commercial real estate. It helps people decide if it is worth buying the property or not. Cap rates show how much you can expect back compared to what you paid for the property. This helps people decide whether to invest in a particular property based on that property's ability to perform according to the investor's preferences and desired outcomes.

Commercial real estate typically takes longer to generate a return on investment than other investments, such as stocks or bonds. However, the potential return on investment for commercial real estate is often higher than different types of investments, which makes it an attractive option for many investors. Understanding the time value of money can help you make better decisions about when to invest in commercial real estate and which properties and investment opportunities to choose that fit your investment criteria and investor preferences.
