- Net operating income measures the profitability of an income-producing property before adding any financing or tax costs.
- To calculate the NOI, subtract all operating expenses incurred in connection with the property from all income received from the property.
- The operating expenses used in the NOI metric can be manipulated if the property owner delays or accelerates certain income or expense items.
- NOI does not include capital expenditures.
- The NOI will tell the property owner if renting the property is worth the cost of owning and maintaining it.
