Understanding Gross Rent Multiplier (GRM)

What is GRM?

The Gross Rent Multiplier (GRM) is a quick method used by real estate investors to evaluate and compare potential investment properties. It represents how many years it would take for a property's gross rental income to equal its purchase price.

How to Interpret GRM

  • Lower GRM = Better potential return on investment
  • Higher GRM = Longer time to recoup investment
  • Typical GRM range: 4-12 (varies by market)

Limitations

While GRM is useful for quick comparisons, it doesn't consider important factors like:

  • Operating expenses
  • Property condition
  • Location quality
  • Market trends
