Investor questions about cap rate and ROI
- What is a cap rate?
- Capitalization rate is net operating income divided by purchase price. It measures the property's unlevered yield, ignoring your mortgage, so you can compare two buildings on the same footing.
- What is cash-on-cash return?
- Annual pre-tax cash flow divided by the cash you actually invested (down payment plus land transfer tax and closing costs). It answers 'what does my own money earn each year'.
- What counts as net operating income (NOI)?
- Gross rent minus vacancy allowance and operating expenses such as property tax, insurance, condo fees, maintenance, and property management. Mortgage payments are excluded from NOI by definition.
- Is a negative cash flow property always a bad deal?
- Not necessarily, but it means you fund the shortfall monthly and are relying on principal paydown and appreciation. That is a risk decision, not a calculation. Review it with a professional before committing.
