Here are some key performance indicators (KPI) used in real estate asset management that you will find helpful in tracking the performance of your sites and choosing between your current locations and related comps:

 

Operating Expenses & Occupancy Costs

  • Operating Cash Flow (OCF) – cash generated less your operating expenses

    OCF = Earnings Before Interest and Depreciation

  • Capitalization rate (cap rate) – the rate of return on your investment

    Cap Rate = Yearly Income / Total Value

  • Debt-Service Coverage Ratio – the amount of cash available to cover the principal and annual interest payments

    DSCR = Net Operating Income / Total Debt Service

  • Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) – an estimate of your return adjusted for the time value of your money
