Maswali yanayoulizwa mara kwa mara

What is a good cap rate?

A good cap rate depends on market conditions and risk tolerance. Residential typically ranges 4–8%, while commercial may be 5–10%. Higher rates indicate higher yields but may imply higher risk.

Why does cap rate ignore financing?

Cap rate measures the property's intrinsic income generation, independent of how it's financed. This allows fair comparison between properties financed differently.

How does cap rate relate to ROI?

Cap rate is the first-year cash-on-cash return for an all-cash purchase. For leveraged deals, actual ROI depends on down payment and mortgage terms.
