Net operating income = Your gross rental income less your operating expenses, such as payroll or repairs. The following steps will help you determine this number:
Available Capital: While it does not impact the cap rate of a property's property, available capital is an important consideration in determining what a "good rate" cap rate is to decide whether to purchase that property. As a rule of thumb, buyers of commercial real property should not use mortgages or debt that is more costly (higher total cost of capital, origination fees, closing costs, etc.) than the property's stabilized rate. For the purchase or renovation of a property using debt, it might make sense to use capital that is more expensive than the cap rate yield in a short time to renovate the property and refinance to lower-cost debt. The buyer should not borrow more if the asset's cap rate is lower than current interest rates. Otherwise, it will dilute the property’s overall returns.

As you can see, there are many factors which can influence the cap rate for an asset at any one time. A review of an asset must be done in order to determine if it is "good".

Finally, the investor must assess their tolerance for risk and overall risk profile. There are many publicly available data that can help you determine whether the caprate for an asset is comparable to the risk-return of other assets. After doing the necessary diligence and accounting to account for variations in property relative to the comp, it's up to the individual's goals, personal preferences, and risk tolerance that determine what a good cap rate is
