All Topics / Help Needed! / Valuing a property with negative returns
How do you work out the value of a property if it has a negative return of 8% and had similar for the previous 3 years?
Employ a valuer.
See what properties similar have sold for.
Put it on the market and see what the offers are.
There’s three ideas.

What do you mean by negative return?
If you mean cash flow negative, then cash flow is not the way valuers or the majority of buyers (who are owner occupiers) value property.
Remember 70% of properties are bought by owner occupiers and they are not looking for return.
If you mean that the property value is decreasing, I would be interested to hear where your property is located. I don’t know of an area where property prices have dropped 4 years in a row.

the normal way to use a cap rate and known net rental income stream to determine a properties value is thus:
Net Rent / cap rate % = value
for instance…net rent = $12000, cap rate = -8%
therefore…
$12000 / -8% = -$150 000
so in fact, you would have to give me your property plus $150 000 cash.
not looking too flash i expect, alternatively, the above posts make (more) sense.
