If a stock does not pay a dividend (cash flow) then why would the value go up? Is this the same way that we are going to value multifamily assets going forward. With no cash flow? Is this a new paradigm shift in the multifamily space or are we facing a future market decline in prices?

My point here is that if cap rates continue to compress, then multifamily will stop cash flowing and we will need to value these assets the same way that we value stocks that do not pay dividends. What will this method of valuing real estate look like? I don’t know but it won’t have anything to do with cash flow as a metric. People will pay more for the assets…just because?

Over the last 2 decades capitalization rates (cap rates) have been steadily falling. The compression of cap rates basically means that investors are willing to pay more for less cash flow. Capitalization rate is the relationship between the price of and asset and the amount of revenue it produces. As investors pay more for assets the cap rates fall. In turn the cap rate rises as the income of the asset rises over time (rents being raised).
