Stabilized NOI is the
net operating income that is produced by the property when it is fully leased, allowing of course for a reasonable long-term average vacancy rate/loss, reflecting market equilibrium.
Typically for residential property, and particularly for apartments, a 5% vacancy rate is considered reasonable for purposes of calculating the stabilized NOI.
Besides the occupancy rate, the other important factor for estimating the stabilized net operating income is the level of rent, which is more difficult to calculate in the long term.
Furthermore, in the case of a multi-tenant property, it becomes more complicated to calculate the stabilized NOI, and especially for commercial property and office buildings, where the typical lease length is 3-5 years and lease contract rates for some leases may be above market rents or below market rents.
In such a case, the particular rollover schedule of all leases needs to be taken into account, in addition to the projection of a stabilized vacancy rate and rent level.
Extreme caution is needed when calculating the stabilized net operating income for property investment evaluation purposes, as its overestimation may result in overpaying for the property, which will in turn result in lower investment returns than expected.
