Episode Description
Welcome to a new segment called “Chad’s Soapbox”! In this episode, we're going to be talking about the different expenses associated with owning a property - like utilities, property taxes, and management. We'll also be discussing capex - or "capital expenditure" - which is all about new investments that can add value to the property. Finally, we'll be giving an overview of how to calculate a property's cap rate, which is a key metric in determining investor interest.

Quotes:
“When you're looking at a property and you're trying to decide whether or not it's worth investing in or not, what you want to do is figure out what the cap rate is on that property. And the cap rate can vary quite a bit depending on the market. It can be really high or really low.” - Chad Sutton
"When you're renovating units, it is also very possible. When you're doing a value add plan on one of these buildings, it's also very possible to determine if this item is something that I can put in the Capex area below the line." - Chad Sutton
