The rent-to-sales ratio is expressed as a rating, which can affect property value. It is a common indicator used by investors to measure the performance and outlook of a potential acquisition by dividing the business’ total annual rent by their gross annual sales.
A vacant property is an investor’s worst nightmare, and the rent-to-sales ratio helps tenants decide if a location makes economic sense for their business. For a tenant, operating between a six to eight percent rent-to-sales ratio is considered healthy, where the tenant’s sales performance justifies the rent that they are paying the landlord.
