Key Performance Indicator (KPI)
Michael R. Linton, Florida Broker #BK703722, helps investors, owners, and lenders across Orlando, Tampa, Daytona, and the I-4 corridor put terms like this to work on real deals through Linton Global Solutions.
A key performance indicator (KPI) is a measurable value that shows how well a property, portfolio, or business is performing against its goals.
In commercial real estate, KPIs turn property operations into numbers an owner, lender, or board can track over time.
Common CRE KPIs
Frequently tracked measures include occupancy, net operating income, rent collections and delinquency, DSCR, operating expense ratio, tenant retention, and leasing velocity. For a bank's REO book, days held and carrying cost are key.
Using Them Well
Pick a short list tied to the business plan, track them on a fixed schedule, and compare them with budget and market data rather than in isolation.
A Hypothetical Example
An asset manager reports monthly occupancy, collections, NOI versus budget, and DSCR for each property in a small portfolio. Hypothetical scenario.
From the Desk
If you can't measure it monthly, you can't manage it. Five good KPIs beat fifty you never read.
