Capitalization rate (also known as cap rate) is the rate of return on a commercial real estate investment.
While cap rate does not consider the impact of mortgage financing, a general rule of thumb is whether the cap rate is above or below the interest rate. If the cap rate is greater than the interest rate, you’ll generally come out ahead. If the cap rate is lower than the interest rate, you’ll be relying on appreciation for your return, making it a riskier speculative investment.
How to calculate cap rate
The formula for cap rate is simple: income, fewer expenses, divided by the purchase price.
On a long-term rental, multiply the monthly rental rate by the number of months per year you expect the property to be rented. In areas with…

Did you know you can defer taxes on the sale of your investment or business-use property? It’s called a 1031 exchange, and it could save you a bundle if you’re planning on selling.
Internal Revenue Code 1031 allows an owner to sell their investment or business-use real estate property and use the sales proceeds to purchase a replacement property of like kind without a tax on the profit.

In 2012, Lake Charlevoix was voted the second-best lake in America in a USA Today poll, behind only Lake Tahoe. Being awarded this honor is partly due to the many forms of recreation the lake provides, including swimming, kayaking, sailing, fishing, diving, boating, water skiing, and just relaxing on the beach. It is also due to Lake Charlevoix being one of Michigan’s largest and most magnificent lakes.
Lake Charlevoix is the 3rd largest lake in the state in terms of surface area, but due to its shape and the elongate South Arm, its shoreline length far exceeds that of any other inland lake in Michigan. If you kayak the entire shoreline of Lake Charlevoix, you will have traversed 60 miles!
Because Lake Charlevoix is directly connected…

We have all been there: We enjoy a great vacation in a beautiful destination and are smitten by life there.
We imagine what it might be like if a vacation home was ours and start picking up local real estate brochures and searching online for sale listings. Pretty soon, conversations with a realtor could be occurring, and you begin you wonder if this dream is realty or pie in the sky.
