Operating Expense Ratio (OER)

Percentage of gross income consumed by operating expenses.

Formula

OER = Operating Expenses / Gross Operating Income

Explanation

Measures management efficiency. Lower OER = more rent flows to bottom line. Multifamily: 35-45%. Office: 40-50%. Hotel: 60-70%. High OER may signal value-add opportunity.

Example

$180K income, $72K expenses. OER = 40%. Within typical multifamily range.
