Investment DictionaryNon-Operating Expenses
Debt service, income taxes, depreciation, CapEx - real costs that stay out of NOI on purpose.
Non-operating expenses are costs excluded from net operating income because they reflect financing, tax, or capital decisions rather than the property's operations: debt service (principal and interest), income taxes, depreciation, and capital expenditures like a roof, an HVAC system, or a full unit remodel. Many investors also fund replacement reserves against those future capital needs.
Why the separation exists
NOI measures the property's operating strength; non-operating expenses determine the deal's cash flow, tax picture, and long-term capital needs. Two investors can own identical buildings with identical NOI and have completely different cash flow, purely from financing and tax circumstances. Keeping the categories separate lets you compare properties consistently, then evaluate your deal on top.
Where you'll see it in Rescover
The APOD table draws the line explicitly: NOI first, then debt service and capital items, ending in net cash flow. Financing inputs and CapEx assumptions are editable, so the deal math is yours, not a template's.
Amortization (Loan Paydown)
Every mortgage payment quietly buys back a piece of your property. That's equity you didn't have to write a check for.
APOD (Annual Property Operating Data)
The one-page financial statement of a rental - income at the top, cash flow at the bottom, every deduction visible in between.
Cap Rate
Net operating income divided by price. The speed of the return, before financing.
