This is how we tenanted 10 units & gained over a $1 million in value in a day..

If you make it to the end you’ll be rewarded!
Capitalisation Rate (Cap Rate) is where the major difference between residential houses & multi unit/Commecial property gains are made.
So what is the difference between the properties yield and it’s Cap rate?
The properties yield is your actual percentage return that you earn on buying the property.
E.g. the property has a $100k rent roll, and you buy it for $1 million, then the percentage return is 10% yield.
But what about Cap Rate?
The Cap rate is the return that the “market” would require from the property in order to buy it.
A lower Cap rate means a better property, as in the market is ok with a lower return because the property is a safer investment.
How does this affect you?
If we take the same property above, $100k rent & $1mil purchase and apply a different Cap rate x we can see the property value change.
Firstly let’s name a few examples of what makes up a Cap rate and why there’s a difference.
- Buying a good deal (off market, desperate vendor)
- Type of Building (new or existing)
- Condition of Building
- Location of Building
- Tenanted or Vacant
- Type of Tenant
- Strength of Tenant
- Length of Tennacy
- Economic Market
- Interest Rates
So let’s say our building with a 10% actual return that we found off market has the following:
- Multiple medium term tenancies with established businesses.
- The building is existing and has been renovated in the last 10 years to a good standard and is located in a good area.
- The economy is much like today, mid level interest rates and positive again in its outlook.
I’m no valuer (disclaimer) but let’s say we apply a 7% Cap Rate to that scenario.
Repeating the meaning, this means the “market” would ideally want a 7% return on their investment for this building & tenants.
If we take our $100k rent roll, and make that 7% of our value our value then becomes $1,428,571.00
(100,000 / 7 * 100)
Without actually doing anything, we have gained $428,571 of value, just by buying well and understanding Cap Rates.
This new number can be used for bank lending in refinances, top ups and/or renovations.
We use our partnership with commercial tenants, referrers and housing & church groups to tenant our buildings & provide countless benefits back.
I know that was a bit wordy, but understanding the above will help your property journey and help in your tenancy negotiations.
