Cap rate calculator — Arizona
Phoenix-area and other Arizona markets see active SFR and build-to-rent interest. Default rent inputs reflect statewide HUD FMR estimates—seasonal demand and utility costs can matter, so adjust to what you expect. Same math as the national Cap rate calculator; numbers are educational—not lender instructions.
Frequently asked questions
- How do you calculate cap rate on a rental property?
- Cap rate is annual NOI divided by purchase price. NOI is effective gross income after vacancy minus operating expenses like taxes, insurance, and recurring costs.
- What is a good cap rate?
- A good cap rate depends on market risk, asset quality, and growth expectations. Many investors compare cap rate against local comps, financing terms, and target return hurdles.
- Can I save cap rate calculator results?
- This calculator does not save your session. Use a free Veld account to save deals in the deal analyzer and track portfolio assumptions over time.
- What cap rate benchmark should I use in Arizona?
- Recent residential cap rates in Arizona are often near 5.2%, but deal quality and neighborhood risk can move that range. Underwrite with your actual 0.43% effective property tax and insurance quotes to avoid overstating NOI.
