The process of determining the total anticipated revenue from a property portfolio, based on signed leases and agreements, involves several key steps. Initially, one calculates the sum of all potential rental income, assuming full occupancy. This figure represents the maximum achievable earnings before any deductions for vacancies, operating expenses, or capital expenditures. For instance, if a building has ten units, each with a monthly lease of $1,000, the initial value is $10,000 per month, or $120,000 annually.
This calculation is fundamental in real estate investment and property management for several reasons. It provides a benchmark for assessing the property’s potential profitability and helps in determining its market value. Lenders often use this information to evaluate the borrower’s ability to repay a loan. Furthermore, comparing this figure to actual collected revenue highlights areas for improvement in occupancy rates or rental pricing strategies. Historically, this type of assessment has been a core component of sound financial planning in the real estate sector.
