Do cap rates vary between neighbourhoods?
Yes. Cap rates reflect local demand, risk and income potential.
Do lenders verify rental income during appraisal review?
Yes. They may request leases, rent rolls or market rent analysis.
Does higher rental income always mean higher value?
Not always. Value depends on net operating income, not just gross rent.
How do appraisers treat vacancies?
They apply market based vacancy assumptions to determine stabilized income.
