Cap Rate Vs Mortgage Constant
A precise tool.
What is the Cap Rate Vs Mortgage Constant & How does it work?
The Capitalization Rate (Cap Rate) is a ratio used to estimate the potential return on a real estate investment. It is calculated by dividing the net operating income (NOI) of a property by its current market value.
The Mortgage Constant, on the other hand, represents the annual debt service cost as a percentage of the loan amount. It is used to determine the total interest and principal payments required for a mortgage over its term.
Cap Rate = frac{NOI}{Market Value}
NOI = Net Operating Income, Market Value = Current Market Value of the Property
Mortgage Constant = frac{Annual Debt Service}{Loan Amount}
Annual Debt Service = Total Interest and Principal Payments, Loan Amount = Original Loan Amount
