What is a cap rate?

The capitalization rate is the ratio of a property's annual net operating income (NOI) to its market value or purchase price. It's the CRE industry's quick shorthand for unlevered yield.

Cap Rate = NOI ÷ Property Value

A lower cap rate generally means a more expensive property relative to its income — usually reflecting lower risk, stronger tenants, better location, or expected NOI growth. A higher cap rate means cheaper relative to income — often reflecting more risk, shorter lease term, weaker credit, or a secondary market.

What counts as NOI?

NOI is gross rental income plus reimbursements, minus operating expenses (property taxes, insurance, management, R&M, utilities not passed through). It excludes debt service, income taxes, capital expenditures, and depreciation.
