The deal
Purchase price and the monthly rent the property would command in today's market.
Operating costs
Annual property tax rate, monthly insurance, and the operating reserves you set against rent.
Net Operating Income (NOI) $8,598 / yr ÷ purchase price $164,193
Monthly operating-expense breakdown
Every operating cost that flows into Net Operating Income (NOI). Mortgage principal and interest are deliberately excluded — cap rate is unlevered.
This is an estimate from the numbers you entered. A real cap rate is anchored by current leased comparables, the actual assessed property tax, and a quoted insurance premium — not typed assumptions. Always confirm with a full Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) before making an offer.

- Typical home value is the value of a mid-tier home — a steadier signal than a single month's sales.
- Days to pending is how fast homes go under contract. Fewer days favors sellers; more days gives a flipper room to negotiate.
- Listings with a price cut flags softening — more cuts can mean more motivated sellers.
- Capitalization rate (cap rate) is annual Net Operating Income (NOI) divided by price — an unlevered yardstick for rentals. A full Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) refines it with real comparable rents.
