The Big Difference Between Homeowner's & Condo Insurance, Cap Rate Calculation Explained, NJ Gov Extends Eviction Protection To Lower Income Tenants

August 17, 2021 Gerald Lucas

The Big Difference Between Homeowner's & Condo Insurance

Real Estate Tip:

The Capitalization or Cap Rate for a property is the ratio between its net operating income (NOI) and the property’s value:

Capitalization Rate = Net Operating Income/Value

You can transpose the formula to solve for property value or net operating income:

Property Value = Net Operating Income/Capitalization Rate

Net Operating Income = Property Value*Capitalization Rate

Real Estate Insight:

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy has given lower-income tenants in the Garden State protection from eviction until the end of the year, as well as setting aside an additional $750 million in coronavirus emergency rent and utility-payment assistance.
