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.
