What the analysis measures
Start with market-supported occupancy and rent, not a temporary lease-up or peak year. Normalize concessions, bad debt and non-recurring income.
Calculation framework
Deduct recurring property operating expenses and management. State whether recurring capital reserves are inside or below NOI.
Underwriting review
Compare assumptions with historical performance, signed leases and market evidence. Separate inflation-driven growth from real operational improvement.
How to use the result
Use stabilized NOI for cap-rate value, debt yield and DSCR only when each calculation uses the same definition and timing.
