BEstimate NOI, then divide by the market-derived cap rate to get value✓ Correct
CSubtract mortgage payments from gross income to get value
DMultiply assessed value by the cap rate

Explanation

Direct capitalization: Step 1 – Estimate Net Operating Income (NOI) = Effective Gross Income − Operating Expenses. Step 2 – Divide NOI by the market-derived capitalization rate. Value = NOI / Cap Rate. This converts the property's income into a value estimate.
