Capitalization Rate (Cap Rate)
QUESTION:
Does HousingAlerts tell or show the Cap Rate / Market Cap Rate for Apartment buildings?
ANSWER:
HousingAlerts can and should be used to SET the risk adjusted Cap Rate so you can compare deals/properties in different markets on an apples-to-apples (risk adjusted) basis.
For example, a property in a crummy market should sell for less (higher Cap rate) than the ‘same’ property in a hot appreciating market.
How do you currently adjust cap rates so you can evaluate properties on a risk-adjusted basis if they’re in different markets?
