📊 Implied Cap Rate — AV vs Market

Rent basis submarket median rent

Gross Scheduled Income (GSI) $307K/yr

Effective Gross Income (95.0% occ.) $292K/yr

Net Operating Income (65.0% of EGI) $190K/yr

At Assessed Value
(Prop-13 locked — understated)

13.6%

$1.40M AV

At Market Value
(comp-adjusted)

4.8%

$3.92M market est.

Vacancy: 5.0% assumed (CBRE LA Multifamily 2024 avg).
Opex: 35.0% of EGI (industry standard for LA multifamily — mgmt, taxes, insurance, maintenance).
AV cap is artificially high because Prop-13 AV is locked near purchase price. Gap = owner's hidden equity.

Honesty disclaimer: All figures cite public-record sources or carry a "data pending" label. No fabricated rents, no assumed financing terms, no fake NOI. Rent estimates use LAHD / HUD FMR medians — actual rents may vary. Cap rates use assumed vacancy and opex ratios standard for LA multifamily.
