Real Estate Math
A Texas commercial property has an annual NOI of $80,000. The buyer wants a 9% return. What is the maximum offer price?
A$720,000
B$888,889✓ Correct
C$800,000
D$900,000
Explanation
Maximum price = NOI / Cap Rate = $80,000 / 0.09 = $888,889. At $888,889, the property would yield exactly 9% (cap rate). Paying more reduces the yield below 9%; paying less increases it above 9%.
