Understanding Cap Rate in Commercial Real Estate
Cap Rate (Capitalization Rate) is one of the most important metrics used to evaluate a commercial property's earning potential.
✅ Higher Cap Rate = Higher Potential Returns (and often higher risk)
✅ Lower Cap Rate = Lower Risk (and often stronger locations)
Formula:
Cap Rate = Net Operating Income (NOI) ÷ Property Value × 100
Example:
If a property generates ₹10 lakh NOI annually and is valued at ₹1 crore, the Cap Rate is 10%.
Before investing in any commercial property, always analyze the Cap Rate along with location, tenant quality, lease terms, and market conditions.
💡 Smart investors don't just buy properties—they buy cash flow.
