If a property was listed for R1,000,000 and generated a net operating income (NOI) of R100,000, then the cap rate would be R100,000/R1 million or 10%. Thus, cap rate = annual net operating income/cost and is expressed as a percentage. Here is how a cap rate is commonly used. Suppose you are researching the recent sale of a warehouse building with a stabilised Net Operating Income (NOI) of R1 million, and a sale price of R17 million, it is common to say that this property sold at a 5.8% cap rate.
What the cap rate above represents is merely the projected return for one year as if the property were bought with all cash. Not many of us buy property for all cash, so we have to break the deal down, usually by trial and error, to find the cash on cash return on our actual investment using leverage (debt).
