Im analyzing a 6 family deal in NJ and trying to figure out the value after filling up the units and getting market rent. 

After all repairs and At market rent the cap rate will be at 8%

So what is the the cap rate that banks use to determine the value of the property?

    Depends on the City, State, surrounding area of town, condition of the property, etc. There is no set cap rate. Some markets are seeing 4.5 Cap and others will never see it that low.

    As @Anthony Dooley mentioned it depends on the market and property. If you are in a B area with a B condition property the will appraise it at the market for other like kind properties. Have the realtor pull the comps to determine cap, ask a property manager, run a CoStar report.

     Thanks for replying.

    CoStar looks like  is a paid service. What are they charging, and what services do they provide?

    As a bank we look at market transactions to determine an appropriate cap rate. We utilize appraisals and co-star to pull this data, but I'd bet some local commercial brokers could help you out. Just make sure the properties are somewhat similar and the transactions have occurred within a reasonable time frame (less than a year maybe).

    I've never heard of Airmont, NY (no offense) so if I had to guess it'd be like 9%?? Just a ballpark figure.

     Airmont is 30 min from mahattan and its 99% single family houses, and the avrage cap rates are way less the 9% more like 4-6%

    The property that im asking about is in hudson county, northern nj.

    yes costar is a paid service. I do not subscribe to it so I'm not sure the price, but it is very steep. The best is to ask a broker for the costar report for that specific property. If your broker does not subscribe to costar you may be able to ask some of the bigger brokerages and pay them a fee.
