Let’s break it down with some easy math, shall we? Imagine your campground nets $100,000 after expenses and you’re selling it for $1 million. Divide $100,000 by $1 million, and ta-da! You’ve got a 10% cap rate. As Donna says, “A 10% cap rate is good, really good.”
But wait, there’s more! Cap rates can also be used as a measuring tool to decide whether to buy or sell. Plus, they’re just one piece of the puzzle. There are many other factors to consider, like opportunities, potential, and what’s happening in the campground world.
So there you have it, folks! A quick and easy guide to calculating cap rates for campgrounds.
