Commercial Financing and How to Guestimate a Commercial Triple Net Lease Rate
What's
a Fair NNN Rent for a Commercial Property to Get Commercial Financing?
You
are a commercial mortgage broker or a commercial mortgage banker.
You are seeking a new commercial mortgage loan on an owner-used commercial
property. The owner's tool company occupies the commercial property.
You need to prepare a pro forma operating statement in order to apply
for a commercial mortgage loan, but you don't know what lease rate
to use.
No
problem. Just work backwards from the commercial property's value.
If you know the commercial property is worth $600,000, just assume
a cap rate of 9%. Nine percent of $600,000 is $54,000 per year in
net income, after operating expenses.
If
we assume the property is leased on a triple net basis, then the
only operating expenses are replacement reserves (say, 3% of effective
gross income) and management (say, 4% of effective gross income).
We therefore multiply the $54,000 in net operating income by 107%
(3% plus 4%) to arrive at the effective gross income of $57,780.
The
effective gross income is just the gross rental income less 5% for
vacancy and collection losses. Finally, simply take $57,780 and divide
it by 95% to get the triple net annual gross rental income of the
commercial property!
