Value of Rental Income
I am considering selling out my % of a small strip mall. I am a partner with cousins, this is an inherited property.
I have a decent handle on the property value.
How do I incorporate the value of rental income into the selling price?
Is there a simple rule of thumb as to what to add to the appraised value of the property to accomplish this, or am I wrong in assuming that this $figure should be added?
Thank you.

It's not added in - value is based on net income/cap rate with the cap rate being the expected rate of return - low in stable high value areas and high in more risky areas -
eg
100000 net income at 6% cap rate = $1.66...M
100000 net income at 14% cap rate = $714k
Same income, different risks, different values. The formula is:
Value = NOI/cap rate
Bear in mind that most investors need the following:
8% cap rate minimum
12% cash on cash return (COCR)
1.6 debt service coverage ratio (net income/annual debt payments) if they are going to finance purchase.
