Cap rate calculator — Virginia
Virginia spans expensive Northern Virginia corridors and smaller cash-flow markets. Default rent inputs are drawn from HUD FMR data—use location-specific rent and tax inputs rather than one-size assumptions. 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 Virginia?
- Recent residential cap rates in Virginia are often near 5.2%, but deal quality and neighborhood risk can move that range. Underwrite with your actual 0.75% effective property tax and insurance quotes to avoid overstating NOI.
