It’s of utmost importance when investing in apartment buildings to understand how to determine the current value of the asset and the principles of the valuation method.

YES, I’m going to talk about ‘CAP RATES’ and demystify them once for all! I’m also attaching an article I’ve written on this subject years ago which includes some tips.

First though, let me tell you the following:

DON’T GET HUNG UP ON CAP RATES!

That’s because you don’t get to choose the cap rate! Your banker and/or CMHC and the market decide what the cap is going to be.

‘GET HUNG UP ON CASH FLOW!’

You must make the apartment building has a net positive cash flow.

LET THE NUMBERS TELL YOU THE STORY! NOT YOUR EMOTIONS!
