INSIGHT

Cap Rate Is A Forward Yield, Not A Final Valuation

  • A cap rate is the annual unlevered percentage return on purchase price, e.g., a 7.23% cap means $7.23 per $100 per year.
  • Chris focuses on stabilized cap rate after executing value-add, not just the going-in cap rate.
ADVICE

Underwrite Stabilized Yield, Not Just Entry Cap

  • Don't fixate on going-in cap rate; underwrite the stabilized unlevered yield after executing your plan.
  • Ask whether your cap is 'sticky' or if there is near-term upside you can capture in 18–24 months.

Industrial Location Prioritizes Access Over Aesthetics

  • Industrial location values quick access to highways, airports or major arteries rather than retail-style corners.
  • Tenants typically serve customers within a 1–5 mile radius, so speed-to-customer drives rentability.
