The Capitalization Rate (Cap Rate) is a key metric used in real estate investing to evaluate the potential return on an investment property. It is calculated by dividing the property’s net operating income (NOI) by its current market value or purchase price, expressed as a percentage. The Cap Rate helps investors assess risk, profitability, and market trends when comparing different properties. A higher Cap Rate generally indicates higher returns but potentially greater risk, while a lower Cap Rate suggests more stable, lower-risk investments with steady income. Factors influencing the Cap Rate include location, market demand, property condition, and rental income stability.
