Talk:Capitalization rate

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Business and Economics Portal This article is within the scope of Business and Economics WikiProject.
Start	rated as start-Class on the assessment scale
Mid	rated as mid-importance on the assessment scale

Seems like there is contradictory information on the page.

Under the "Change in asset value" section, the article reads:

..."To get the rate of return on an investment, also known as an internal rate of return, the real estate investor adds (or subtracts) the price change percentage from the cap rate."

In the next section, "Relationship to similar terms", the article reads:

"A capitalization rate, or cap rate, does not equal the rate of return on an investment in real estate."

Can someone please clarify this.

Thanks,
