Ownership and InvestingHow to Increase NOI on a Multifamily Property
NOI sets what your building is worth, so every dollar you add to it is worth far more than a dollar. Here is where the real gains hide, on both the income and expense sides.
Free tool
Enter your rent, occupancy and concessions. See how your building stacks up against its submarket and what the difference is worth in a year.
We take your rent, remove concessions, and compare it with the average effective rent in your submarket. Then we compare occupancy. Where you trail the market, we turn the gap into dollars for a full year.
The income index puts both together: what you collect per home, divided by what the average home in your submarket collects. At 100 you match the market. At 90 you collect 90 cents on each market dollar.
A submarket average is a starting point, not a comp set. A newer building should beat it, and an older one with fewer amenities may not reach it. If your number surprises you, that is the conversation worth having.

What this compares
Averages across a whole submarket, not comps for your building. Age, size, finishes and unit mix all move what your building should earn, so treat a gap as a question worth asking, not a verdict.
