Question

Your investor client is interested in looking at commercial property. An available strip mall has an effective gross income of $112,000 and a net operating income of $84,000. The capitalization rate in the area for similar properties is 12%. What is the likely asking price for the property

Answer 1

$700,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Effective gross income = $112,000

Net operating income = $84,000

Capitalization rate = 12%

So by considering the above information, the asking price for the property is

= Net operating income ÷ Capitalization rate

= $84,000 ÷ 12%

= $700,000

By dividing the net operating income by capitalization rate we can get the asking price for the property
