Forum / Real Estate Investing / Cap rate

Am looking at a new property that has a 9% cap rate. Can you define what a "Cap rate" is!

RE: Cap rate

Cap Rate is usually described as the rate of return on your investment. Basically how much money you can generate that is strictly based on profit made not including expenses.
