Kentucky apartment offer worksheet

A workforce apartment, a student lease and a new suburban community can have different income timing and competing supply. Test the rent roll and work budget before using a regional yield as an offer rule.

1. Reconcile recurring buyer NOI

Annual lineReport illustrationYour property / evidence
Price$1,600,000___________________
Scheduled rent$240,000___________________
Vacancy, concessions and collection loss (subtract once)$19,200___________________
Effective collected income$220,800___________________
Buyer taxes$24,000___________________
Binding insurance premium$16,000___________________
Management$11,040___________________
Recurring repairs$24,000___________________
Owner utilities$20,000___________________
Administration / recurring compliance$21,760___________________
Recurring expenses total$116,800___________________
NOI before debt and reserve$104,000___________________

All example amounts are hypothetical, not local quotes. Buyer NOI = collected income − recurring operating costs. Capital work and replacement reserves are separate. Cap = NOI ÷ price × 100.

2. Complete the Kentucky evidence checks

3. Match the comp before choosing a cap

Sale address / date / source:

Actual geography, units, class and lease/regulation basis:

Price / reported NOI / trailing or forward basis:

Debt assumption, concessions, immediate work, missing inputs:

The chart-read estimate is retained only as orientation, with its precision limit explicit. No basis-point comparison is computed from that endpoint. Lexington’s unlabeled cap chart is not converted into an invented exact value. Cincinnati’s 7.61% Lee benchmark is discussed as external regional context, not plotted as a Kentucky observation because a Kentucky-only sample and geographic crosswalk were not verified. No statewide average is calculated.

4. Reconcile debt and invested cash

Loan, rate, amortization$880,000 / 6.5% / 30 years____________
Annual debt service$66,746____________
Annual replacement reserve below NOI$12,000____________
Down payment + closing + immediate work$720,000 + $48,000 + $100,000 = $868,000____________
Cash after debt and reserve$25,254____________
DSCR before / after reserve1.56× / 1.38×____________
Cash-on-cash before income tax2.91%____________

Confirm lender NOI/reserve convention. Cash-on-cash uses all invested cash above; capital reserves and repairs are not interchangeable. Property value does not guarantee refinance proceeds.

5. Test what would change the offer

Entry cap: _____% · Exit cap: _____% · Total cumulative NOI change: _____%

Value = annual NOI ÷ (cap ÷ 100). Buyer-cost correction: _____ per year. Revised NOI: _____ . Value at original cap: _____ . Wider-cap value: _____ .

NOI needed to preserve value = starting NOI × exit cap ÷ entry cap. Simple value excludes debt payoff, sale costs, taxes and interim cash flow.
