Answer:

Potential gross rent (10 x $3900 x 12 months) $468,000.00
Less: 10% Vacancy (10% x $468,000) $46,800.00
Effective Gross Income (EGI) $421,200.00
Less: 40% Fixed and Variable Expense (40% x $468000) $187,200.00
Net Operating Income $234,000.00
Capitalisation Rate = NOI/Sale Price  
Capitalisation Rate = $234,000/($175,000 x 10 units ) 13.37%
   
It is attractive to investor because most real estate will appreciate in value each year, typically 3 to 4 percent, again depending on the area and the market.
