Instead of posting an interview on this Holiday Monday, I thought I'd take this opportunity to talk about a key financial ratio that you'll hear a lot from brokers and investors, but may not completely understand.  I'm referring to the Capitalization Rate, or Cap Rate as its commonly called. This won't be a technical discussion that will make your eyes glaze over.  Instead I'll share with you my simple explanation that I teach in my advanced financial analysis course through the RPOA. Happy 4th of July!
