NET OPERATING INCOMEThe major reason for the importance of the NOI in real estate investment analysis is that one of the major methods used by industry professionals to determine the value of commercial real estate is the income capitalization approach, according to which the value of an income producing property is equal to: Thus, if the Net Operating Income of a commercial property and the market capitalization rate that can be reasonably applied to it (given its characteristics) is known, it can allow for a quick and rough estimate of the market value of the property.
The Net Operating Income is also a critical part of the Income Statement, Cash Flow Statement and return calculations for a commercial property. In particular, it is important in estimating the Net Income Multiplier, and the internal rate of return (IRR) of a commercial real estate investment.
The formula for calculating the Net Operating Income of a property is the following: NOI = Effective Gross Income – Operating Expenses + Recoveries (4) Notice that typically commercial leases include clauses through which a significant portion of operating expenses is recovered from the tenants. Thus, the third term of Formula (4) represents the amount of operating expenses that is recovered from the tenants. Operating expenses are the sum of the following expenses: Property Management Fees Example (continuing from previous): Therefore, NOI = 120,000 – 35,000 + 15,000= 100,000 and Net Income Multiplier = 1,000,000/100,000 = 10 Thus, in this example, the market price is 10 times greater than the NOI produced by the property.

If there is vacant space in a commercial property, then its effective rental income and its timing will depend on open market rents and the timing that it will take to rent the units or commercial space. Notice that both of these variables will depend on how tight or soft is the market for rental space for the property type considered. For example, if the market is tight, which means that there is not too much vacant space available in the market compared to the space demanded, rents will be higher and the time that it will take to lease the vacant units is shorter. If the market is soft, which means that there is lots of vacant space compared to the space demanded, then rents will be lower and the time needed to lease the vacant units will be longer. The analyst can use the most recent rental contracts that were signed within the year of analysis and assess whether the market is becoming softer or stronger in order to better estimate the rental rates at which vacant units will be rented. These forecasts will then provide the basis for producing projections of the net operating income over the holding period of a commercial real estate investment. - Rental income The percentage rent listed above is typical of retail leases and represents an agreed percentage of the tenant’s gross sales receipts, only if these exceed a pre-determined level. The expense items that are taken into account in building an NOI income statement for a shopping center include: - Administrative DO YOU HAVE AN INTERESTING COMMENT ON THIS ARTICLE?
