Understanding Cap Rates

Market Cap Rate (4-7%)
Typical institutional-grade properties in established markets with stable tenants.
Low Cap Rate (3-4%)

Cap rates are based on market averages and should be considered alongside location, tenant quality, lease terms, and property condition. Professional analysis recommended for investment decisions.
