What Is a Cap Rate and Why It Matters

The Capitalization Rate (Cap Rate) is a key metric used in commercial real estate to measure an investment property’s expected rate of return.

It reflects how efficiently a property generates income relative to its market value or purchase price.

Cap Rate Formula:
Cap Rate = (Net Operating Income / Property Value) × 100

Example:
If a property generates $120,000 in NOI and is valued at $2,000,000, then the Cap Rate is 6%.

A higher Cap Rate generally means a higher return but potentially higher risk, while a lower Cap Rate indicates lower risk and steadier performance.
