How we calculate the cap rate, and how accurate it is

Investment Calculator
How we calculate the cap rate, and how accurate it is
Cap rate = NOI ÷ price. NOI is the rent you would collect in a year, after vacancy, minus the costs of running the property. The loan is left out, so the cap rate measures the property as if you paid cash.
- Gross rent, 12 months Estimate
- $30,000
- Gross yield: rent ÷ price, before costs
- 7.9%
- minus Vacancy (8% of gross rent) Assumption
- $2,400
- equals Rent collected
- $27,600
- minus Property tax Estimate
- $8,360
- minus Insurance Estimate
- $3,800
- minus HOA dues, 12 months MLS listing
- $6,804
- minus Maintenance (5% of rent collected) Assumption
- $1,380
- minus Management (8% of rent collected) Assumption
- $2,208
- equals Net operating income (NOI)
- $5,048
- divided by Price MLS listing
- $380,000
- equals Cap rate
- 1.3%
Amounts are rounded to the dollar; the cap rate uses the exact figures.
Accuracy
It is an estimate, not a quote or a guaranteed return. It is only as good as its inputs:
- From the MLS listing: price, HOA
- From a rent comparable:
- Your figures:
- Our estimates and assumptions: rent, property tax, insurance, vacancy, maintenance, management
- Not provided, counted as $0:
- Missing:
- MLS figures are what the listing reports. We have not verified them.
- The tax on a listing is the seller’s last bill, and it can be lower than what you will pay: a homestead exemption, the 10% cap on homestead appraisals and an over-65 or disability tax ceiling do not carry over to an investor.
- Listings in this MLS do not include property tax, so unless you enter your own figure we use 2.2% of the price a year. Look up the property’s value and taxing units at the Cameron Appraisal District (opens in a new tab); a rental does not get the homestead exemption.
- If a listing advertises its own cap rate, it may leave out vacancy, management or other costs, which makes it look higher.
- To confirm it, ask for the current lease or rent roll, last year’s tax bill (Cameron County Tax Assessor-Collector) and your own insurance quote from a Texas-licensed agent; coastal wind and flood coverage can cost much more. For a specific property, Ricardo can ask the listing agent for the lease, the tax bill and what the seller pays for insurance.
What It Leaves Out
- The mortgage. Your loan shows up in cash flow and cash-on-cash, not in the cap rate.
- Big repairs and replacements (roof, A/C, appliances) and savings set aside for them.
- Utilities, lawn care or pest control, if the owner pays them.
- Closing costs, leasing fees, income taxes in the U.S. or Mexico, and depreciation.
