How to analyze the true value of a potential investment property.
How much do I pay for a property?
This can be the biggest challenge for new investors. How do I know how much to pay for a property? There are so many factors involved that it can feel a little overwhelming. In fact it scares some investors away from buying their first property. I’m here to tell you that it’s not rocket science. A class in using a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel or learning to use a financial calculator might be the most difficult part of the process. There are several performance measurements commonly used when valuing property. Three measurements commonly used by investors include CAP Rate, Net Operating Income (NOI), and Return On Investment (ROI). There are many other ratios and measurements used in real estate finance such as Gross Rent Multiplier, Debt Service Coverage Ratio, Operating Ratio, etc. This information can be found in many finance books or at finance courses at your local Community College.
