Net Operating Income (NOI) is a multifamily property's total annual revenue minus all operating expenses, but excluding debt service, capital expenditures, and income taxes. Calculated as gross rental income minus vacancy losses, property taxes, insurance, utilities, maintenance, and property management fees. NOI is the critical metric lenders use to assess a property's debt service capacity.
