Ways to establish value:

Income, replacement, market comparison

 

The gross rent multiplier formula for value is as follows:

Value=potential annual gross income X gross rent multiplier Ie

8+$1,200,000(value)/$150,000 (potential annual gross income)

Lower the GRM better the deal

 

The cap rate is the net operating income divided by sales price or value

(net includes expenses other than debt service and capital improvements)

Cap rate=net operating income/value

Ie

10=$120,000 (potential annual net income)/$1,200,000 (value)

Higher the Cap rate better the deal
