A

Depreciation is not an actual cash outflow, but rather an accounting entry

terminal value (TV)

A

the value of the property at the end of the investment period

calculated based on the NOI at that time

36
Q

how do you find value of property using DCF?

A
  1. Calculate all individual NOI of the next 5 years
  2. Calculate all individual cash flows for 5 years
  3. Calculate the expected NOI for year 6
  4. Calculate terminal value at end of year 5
  5. Find present value of the terminal value
37
Q

discount rate used on DCF?

A

should reflect the rate of return required by an investor for an investment with this level of risk

38
Q

can a discount rate for TV be different than discount rate for cash flows in the DCF method? if so, on which condition?

A

yeee

if the condition of the property is expected to change

39
Q

The Comparable Sales Approach

A

estimates the value of a property by comparing it with the recent selling price of properties that have similar characteristics

40
Q

for which type of property is the Comparable Sales Approach most often used?

A

single family houses

41
Q

Comparable sales should be for properties of the same or similar…

A

Type

Location

Age

Condition

42
Q

How does the Comparable Sales Approach work?

A

data from the comparable sales is converted to some common factor

–> doors, square feet or units

The appraiser must then use judgement to determine the value after considering the different characteristics (condition, age, location, etc.) of the properties

43
Q

The Cost or Replacement Cost Approach

A

estimates the current cost of replacing the subject property using industry sourced construction cost data

44
Q

how is the Cost or Replacement Cost Approach useful for investors?

A

informs the investor of the likelihood of new properties being developed
