Calculate going-in cap rate

If I'm looking at an OM and know the contract price, how should I be calculating the going-in cap rate. Using the T12. T6, T3, broker Year 1 PF NOI

I know it's usually done with using your Year 1 NOI, but this is before we run our own numbers.

As a lender, I use my UW NOI which is based on latest rent roll annualized. I use their year 1 concessions, credit loss but see if it is inline with T-12/historicals, get some color on whats the story there. I use their year 1 expenses but again see if something is off (for example is R&M suddenly 100% less compared to T-12?). Taxes will be higher if there is a reassessment. So my NOI will be a little different than T-12 or their year 1 number.

This is always an interesting question because every company looks at it differently. If you're told it's 5% cap, is it a 5% cap on T12 Income and Expenses, Year 1 proforma, stablized, T3/T12? You see, the answer is, it depends. Many firms will track deals they underwrote and show what the broker claimed, and than have another column showing the Firm's cap rate, calculated in a standardized way each time - that way you know where you were underwriting the deal, how it looks compared to the rest of the market, and when it trades, what that cap rate was based on your numbers as well.
