An understandable number starts with understandable assumptions.

A first conversation helps us understand the property. As information becomes available, our review separates what the owner supplied, what we assumed, and what still needs verification. The example below is fictional and is not an offer, appraisal, or market recommendation.

An illustrative income review

Scheduled annual rent
$120,000
Vacancy / collection allowance
−$6,000
Effective rental income
$114,000
Operating expenses
−$44,000
Net operating income
$70,000

Operating expenses include taxes, insurance, management, ordinary maintenance, and owner-paid utilities. NOI excludes debt service, income taxes, depreciation, and capital expenditures.

How MN CRE approaches it

At an illustrative 8% capitalization rate, $70,000 of NOI implies $875,000 before property-specific adjustments. The 8% is an example, not a Minnesota market benchmark.

A roof estimate, lease expiration, environmental issue, or unusual expense requires separate review. Capital work and reserves are shown separately; they should not disappear inside an unexplained offer discount.

What we need for an initial review

What needs verification?

  • Leases, collections, concessions, and vacancies
  • Taxes, insurance quotes, and actual operating costs
  • Physical condition and any repair estimates
  • Comparable transactions and the appropriate valuation method
  • Title, ownership authority, and any financing conditions

What comes next?

We discuss the assumptions with you, identify any missing information, and determine whether to proceed toward a property visit and written offer. Land and vacant buildings require a different approach from this income example.

Compare cash remaining after selling costs and debt. An initial response within one business day is an acknowledgment and next-step discussion; a completed valuation depends on the information available.
