Measuring ROI on commercial rental properties- Make sure you get it right!

Measuring ROI is a matter of hard facts. Forget every single word you’ve ever heard about “creative valuations”, this is all about real money for real investment properties.

The methods are necessarily very pragmatic:

Raw income- The number of units and the exact amount of rental income received.

Vacancies and lost revenue- Another hard number, based on real loss of income.

Maintenance, rates and other costs- Natural overheads, but don’t assume deductibility has anything to do with real revenue at this stage, because you’ll blur the ROI values.

The result of these calculations is called NOI- Net operating income.

Divide the NOI figure to get your ROI percentile. If the NOI is worth $100,000 and the property is worth $1 million, the ROI is 10%.

The percentile is also the performance measure. 10% is benchmark best practice, below is losing money, and above is outperforming. Just make sure you get your numbers right!
