Before you make an offer on any commercial property, there are three numbers you need to calculate.

Not estimate. Not guess. Calculate.

Because if even one of these numbers is wrong, you could overpay by hundreds of thousands of dollars. Or worse, buy a property that drains cash every single month.

Here are the three numbers.

First: Net Operating Income.

This is your actual income after you pay all the operating expenses, but before you pay the mortgage or taxes.

If the NOI is inflated, or if it's based on projected rents instead of actual rents, you're making an offer on fantasy numbers.

Always verify NOI with real financials. Actual rent rolls. Actual expense reports. Tax bills. Bank statements if you can get them.

Do not trust pro forma projections without backing them up with real data.

Second: Cap Rate.

Once you know the real NOI, calculate the cap rate. NOI divided by purchase price.

Then compare that cap rate to other similar properties in the same market.

If the seller is asking for a 5% cap rate but comparable buildings are trading at 7%, you need to understand why.

Is this property actually better? Or is the seller just overpricing it and hoping you don't check?

Third: Debt Service Coverage Ratio.

This tells you if the property can actually cover its own mortgage.

Take your NOI. Divide it by your annual loan payment.

You want 1.25 or higher. That means the property generates 25% more income than it needs to pay the mortgage. That's your safety margin.

If the DSCR is below 1.25, most lenders won't even finance the deal. And if it's below 1.0, the property literally cannot pay for itself.

You'd be writing checks out of your own pocket every month just to keep the lights on.

Before you make an offer, calculate all three: NOI, cap rate, and DSCR.

And if the numbers don't work, walk away.

No matter how much you like the property. No matter how good the location is. No matter what the seller tells you about future potential.

The numbers either work or they don't.

And in commercial real estate, emotions don't pay the mortgage.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝘂𝘆𝗲𝗿 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗮 𝟰% 𝗖𝗮𝗽 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘆

I'm aware of a deal in Nashville where a buyer walked away from a property with a 4% cap rate.

And at first, that sounds absolutely crazy.

The property was in a prime location. Class A building. Strong, stable tenants. Long-term leases in place. Low vacancy. Professionally managed.

The seller wanted $4.5 million. The NOI was around $180,000. Simple math: 4% cap rate.

And in some situations, a 4% cap rate isn't the end of the world. If you're buying for stability and long-term appreciation, some investors will accept lower returns on day one because they're betting the property value grows over time.

The fundamentals were solid. The income was predictable. The location was prime.

So everything looked good on paper.

But here's where it fell apart.

The buyer ran the numbers with actual financing in place and realized the property would barely cash flow after debt service. In fact, some months it would be negative.

Which means the buyer would be writing checks out of pocket every single month just to hold the property. Waiting. Hoping. Betting on future appreciation that may or may not happen.

That's not investing. That's speculating with $4.5 million.

And that's why the buyer walked.

Here's the lesson:

You can have a stable property. Great location. Low cap rate. Everything looks perfect.

But if your debt service eats up all the income and you're negative cash flowing every month, the deal doesn't work.

A 4% cap rate might work for an all-cash buyer who doesn't need monthly income. But for a leveraged buyer who needs the property to at least break even? That same 4% cap rate kills the deal.

Before you make an offer on any commercial property, run the actual numbers with your real financing costs included.

Don't just look at cap rate and assume it tells the whole story. Because it doesn't.

Nashville Commercial Real Estate Broker Reportedly “Too Invested” in Her Clients’ Success

Backsplashes have come a long way from their humble beginnings. Once installed only to protect walls from water, grease and food splatter, the original backsplashes were just four inches high and had little decorative appeal. Today’s backsplashes are essential kitchen accents, adding vibrant pops....
