Understanding Cap Rates
A cap rate serves as a key metric in commercial real estate, reflecting an expected return on investment. For instance, if a property generates $100,000 in annual income and is valued at $1 million, it has a cap rate of 10%. Conversely, if the same property generates only $50,000, the cap rate drops to 5%. This inverse relationship indicates that rising cap rates typically imply declining property values, while falling cap rates suggest increasing property values.
