Real Estate's Financial Language Important for All Investors

There are three primary financial terms that affect how we determine the value of real estate. Without a working knowledge of these terms, investors and Realtors are at a disadvantage in the market place. These terms may sound difficult to grasp but are an integral part in understanding how we determine the value of real estate and are important for commercial and residential investors alike.

The first term, net operating income, refers to the income received from an investment prior to any mortgage debt being deducted from the equation. In general, net operating income, or NOI, is defined as the total possible rents minus a vacancy rate and any operating expenses.
