How to Calculate the Value of Income Property
The value of an income property is primarily based on the net operating income, or NOI, that it produces. How you decide to finance the property is not relevant. The capitalization, or cap, rate is the NOI divided by the property's value. Consequently, the NOI divided by the cap rate is the property's value.
