NOI stands for NET OPERATING INCOME.

To get to NOI, you must first start with the Gross Income (rentals, laundry, etc) minus % for Vacancy which leaves the Adjusted Gross Income.  Taking this number, you then apply the operating expenses (i.e. - Management, Maintenance, repairs, utilities, reserves, etc) which leaves you with your Net Operating Income. (i.e.-Income before Mortgage Debt)

Below find a brief numerical example...

GOI - $100,000

Vacancy - 10% - ($10,000)

ADJ GOI - $90,000

OP EXP - ($45,000)

NOI - $45,000

Now the rule of thumb throughout the industry (especially in Northeast Ohio) is 10% capitalization rate of NOI.

In this case that would make the above example property worth approx. $450,000

Now depending on factors such as location, condition, types of units (1 Bdrm, 2 Bdrm, etc) this CAP RATE scenario needs to be flexible... Such as a 9% scenario which places value at approx. $500,000 and thus the mirror image at 11% CAP RATE places the value at approx. $410,000.

Now, other options exist when looking at investment property, especially multi-family, such as comparables, GRM and price per unit, but for now I digress and we will discuss some of those options in the near future.
