Formula

Cap Rate = Net Operating Income (NOI) ÷ Property Value

Frequently asked questions

What is a good cap rate?
It depends on asset class, market, and risk: stabilized core assets in strong markets often trade at lower cap rates (higher prices), while value-add or secondary-market deals trade at higher cap rates. A cap rate is a relative pricing signal, not a universal target.
Does cap rate include debt?
No. Cap rate is an unlevered metric — it uses NOI, which is before debt service — so it reflects the property's yield independent of financing.
