    Not so pro tip - If you see a cap rate as part of the marketing material for the property, it's probably wrong. I can't count how many times agents either knowingly or unknowingly misrepresent the number. Most of the time it's not taking all/any expenses into account.

    • @Rose-re9tn
      @Rose-re9tn Рік тому +1

      When valuing a property, the initial cap rate is used to estimate the expected cash flows and risks associated with holding the property over a certain period of time. However, when it comes time to sell the property, there may be additional risks and uncertainties that could affect its value, such as changes in market conditions or unexpected repairs. This increased risk associated with the sale of the property leads to a higher exit cap rate. The exit cap rate reflects the additional risks and uncertainties associated with the future sale or disposition of the property. In other words, the exit cap rate should be higher than the initial cap rate to account for the increased risk and uncertainty of the future sale or disposition of the property. Hope this helps

      The exit cap rate should be lower because your property value should be higher than you initially bought it.
      If at initial NOI is $100k and Value is $1m, entry CAP rate is 10%, but if your selling and the NOI is $150k and the value is $2m, exit CAP rate is 7.5%. This means your property value grew at a higher rate than NOI, which is good for you as the seller.

  • @leibelcohen
    @leibelcohen 2 роки тому +13

    Ken - the last piece of advice you give here, “buy at a high CAP rate and sell at a low one” is great, but you left out one important question: HOW DO YOU DO THAT? Is it totally determined by the market (I.e. out of investors control)? If so, what does one do in today’s environment when (where I invest) we are setting CAP rates in the 4-5% range?

    • @salvadorgalvan5024

    • @andyO4you
      @andyO4you 2 роки тому +2

      I think should have been said backwards... why would you buy either a cap rate of 10% and sell with a lower cap rate? Even if the property goes up the cap rate would go down only if you never increase the rents.. so technically 1 million property goes up to 2 million then sell at a minimum of the same cap rate of 10% but that number actually increased to 200k..
      I think he messed up the last part, and if there is a 30% vacancy and ypu sell when you are 90% to 95% full, then this is when you want to exit the property cap rate then maybe is 12 or 13% ( higher price even if property price was stagnant)

    Ken, I need some serious advice please. I’m looking into being a first time home buyer in California but currently we’ve all seen the housing market skyrocket in the past few years. I’m currently looking to purchase a home in central California (Sacramento-San Joaquin region) but extremely hesitant at these outrageous prices. For example, majority of 3 bedroom/2 bath home is currently going anywhere from $400-800k depending on location/neighborhood…….these same homes used to be $200-300k a few years ago……I definitely don’t want to buy this at the top when everything is about to crash all over again…..thank you for your time and advice/suggestions.

      NOI increase has no effect on the cap rate. it would increase the value because that is what cap rates measure. If NOI is selling for $10, a 10% cap rate then if you increase NOI to $1.10 the the new VALUE is $11. $11=$1.10/10%

      @RealEstateChris56 Рік тому +2

      A lower CAP rate is typically prescribed to properties that are of lower risk to the investor. eg: properties that need little to no improvements (not a fixer upper), and are in low CAP rate areas, like a a nice neighborhood, is occupied by a strong, credit tenant, has low expenses and allows the investor the ability to increase NOI. There may be other examples, but in general, low CAP rate properties are deemed low risk so naturally, the investor will pay more to acquire the property.

    Is it that NOI gets measured yearly and then the value portion of the equation is measured based on the price you agree to? So NOI, when you pay the house off goes up the (for example) 10k per yr you would be spending on the P & I. Am I understanding that correctly?
    Also is there anything you would not include in the expense portion of the equation or is it literally every penny?

    • @jbrandonporter
      @jbrandonporter 2 роки тому +1

      The whole point of investing in the style of Ken (and most others that think in like ways) is to buy low and hold while it puts money in your pocket. Buy low sell high is investing for capital gains, which doesn't have nearly as many of the benefits as investing for cash flow does. If investors like Kenny want a cash injection, they will refinance at the higher CAP rate (which the bank views as the business is worth more). The cash flow is reduced, but it's still continuing to put money in the pocket.
      If you have something that pays you every month to own it, as well as provides huge tax benefits, why would you ever want to sell? Don't kill the goose laying the golden eggs.

    • @jbrandonporter
      @jbrandonporter 2 роки тому +3

      Also, if you do sell, you want to do so at as low a CAP as possible. For instance, let's say you purchased a property at a 10% CAP and sold it the next day at 5%. You didn't change the NOI, but you doubled your money. To illustrate, I'll use small numbers. You paid $100 for something that makes $10 a year, or 10/100 = 10% CAP. You sell that item at a 5% CAP. 10/x = 5% -> 10 = x(5%) -> 10/5% = x -> x = 200 You sold it $200 the next day by selling at a lower cap rate.

      @@jbrandonporter What if you improve the property by say, agreeing to install dishwashers on all the units? Then you charge a higher rent for the convenience. Since the neighborhood and location of the property didn’t change, you maintain the same 10% cap rate. However by keeping the same cap rate, you’ve been able to increase the value of the property for a one time investment. You still return a profit from the appreciation of the property when it’s sold.
