In this lesson we're going to talk about Net Operating Income or NOI.
[5]
NOI is the driving number behind the valuation of commercial real estate and it's
[11]
important to understand where that number comes from, how it's used, and the
[17]
significance that it has over our investments.
[21]
Net Operating Income is exactly that.
[24]
It's the net income from operations after all of the operating
[29]
expenses have been paid. So if this is our total revenue and then we have our
[35]
expenses, this is our NOI.
[43]
Now, NOI can be used for a lot of things.
[47]
For instance, if we take our NOI and we divide it by our purchase price (or value),
[55]
that gives us our Cap Rate.
[59]
NOI can also be used to calculate
[63]
if we take our annual debt service, our NOI divided by our annual debt service
[71]
that gives us our Debt Service Coverage Ratio.
[81]
And finally since NOI is what we use to pay our debt service, if we take the NOI
[89]
minus the debt service, that gives us our Net Cash Flow, which we can use to calculate
[99]
our Cash-on-Cash return.
[101]
Here are the steps to calculating the NOI on a property.
[106]
First, we need to know what our Scheduled Rents are. Scheduled rents are
[116]
the rents that would be collected on the property if all spaces or units were
[122]
completely full 100% of the year. Effectively, it's the rent roll or the
[126]
lease schedule times 12 months, for the total annual rents. From there, most of
[134]
the time, we have an assumed vacancy. Vacancy can be variable depending on the
[143]
market however most of the time we must assume that some vacancy is
[150]
going to happen, and the industry standard, for at least multifamily
[153]
vacancy or most investment properties, is 5%.
[158]
From there we also get Other Income.
[164]
Other Income can be laundry income, application fees or credit check fees,
[170]
late fees, non-sufficient funds, anything that isn't part of the rent roll but
[175]
it's still income to the property. And if we add these (obviously this is a
[181]
negative, so we would subtract that) and add that, we get our
[185]
Effective Gross Income.
[197]
Effective Gross Income, or EGI, is basically our net revenue number.
[204]
From there, we need to take out Operating Expenses. Important note is that
[210]
operating expenses do not include debt service or payments to the owner,
[218]
but they are expenses that are related strictly to the operation of the property.
[223]
So, for example, operating expenses would include things
[235]
like real estate taxes, hazard insurance, property management, utilities, repairs
[251]
and maintenance. Anything that is necessary to operate the property along
[263]
with collecting the rents, are considered operating expenses. Those would be our
[268]
total expenses. And then, if we take our Effective Gross Income minus our total
[280]
Operating Expenses, we get our NOI.
