How it works
The focus is on multifamily real estate that it is acquired and then rented out to Tenants . Tenants, pay rents to live in the properties. Some of the income from the rent is used to pay for operating expenses , such as:
• Property taxes,
• Utilities,
• External illumination,
• Trash collection,
• Maintenance,
• Management expenses, etc.
After subtracting the Expenses from the total income, we arrive at The NET OPERTAING INCOME.
Multifamily Properties Investments , as any investment instrument, are valued based on their Rates of Return. (CAP RATE)
The example shows a 4-plex with a total gross rent in the amount of $47,532.00 . Other incomes and concessions , minus total expenses , bring to the owner an annual net operating income of $36,304.40. Notice the property valuations a different Capitalization Rate.
