Cap Rates in Comps - Do they assume 100% occupancy?

Hello all,

When you read cap rates from recent transactions in a brokerage report or a IM/OM, are those NOI figures usually adjusted to 100% occupancy based on their in-place rents or are the numbers as is (i.e. current in-place rent / purchase price)

They should be showing actuals, they might show what it could be but it would probably be explicit. And as far as I'm aware, no one underwrites 100% occupancy (only exception I can think of is affordable), there is always a vacancy factor, usually 5%, included. Even if the building is 100% occupied you need to account for some churn and vacancies resulting from that.

Even affordable has vacancies.  And when we don't, we usually have a higher-than-average bad debt allowance, so it evens out.
