Gross Rent Multiplier (GRM)

The ratio of property price to annual gross rental income.

Definition

Gross Rent Multiplier is a quick screening tool that compares a property's price to its gross annual rent. Unlike cap rate, GRM ignores operating expenses, making it useful for fast comparisons but less precise. A lower GRM generally indicates better value, though it doesn't account for differences in expense ratios between properties.

Formula

GRM = Property Price ÷ Annual Gross Rental Income

GRM equals the property price divided by the gross annual rent it produces.

Example

A property listed at $300,000 generates $30,000 in annual gross rent. GRM = $300,000 ÷ $30,000 = 10. This means the property's price equals 10 years of gross rent.
