Definitions for "DIRECT CAPITALIZATION"

If an income property produces a first year net operating income of $30,000 and the market indicates a general capitalization rate of 10% for comparable properties, the direct capitalization estimate of the value of the total property would be ($30,000/.10) or $300,000.
