Q

what are the The two main financial metrics used in decision making for equity investors ?

A

Net Present Value (NPV)

Internal Rate of Return (IRR) (we look 90% of the time at this)

29
Q

what do Net Present Value (NPV) ab¡nd Internal Rate of Return (IRR) have in common?

A

Both of these use the cash flows we’ve built so far (NOI and Debt service payments)

Both of these metrics use the cash flow model of the property, or real estate investment, developed as part of the financial analysis

30
Q

The NPV

A

sum of the present values of the cash flows generated by the investment MINUS the initial investment

Highly dependent on the discount rate

31
Q

is the rate of return a positive NPV bigger or smaller than the discount rate?

A

bigger than the discount rate

32
Q

Hurdle Rate

A

the rate of return required by the investor

The discount rate applied

The minimum return we are willing to accept

33
Q

If the NPV returns a value greater than zero, the investment generates a rate of return greater or smaller than the hurdle rate?

A

greater than the hurdle rate

34
Q

true or false

The greater the NPV the more attractive the investment.

A

truuue

35
Q

The NPV calculated using cash flows before interest

A

unlevered NPV

you gotta worry about equity holder and the debt holder

will generally use a risk adjusted weighted average cost of capital (WACC)

36
Q

The NPV calculated using cash flows after interest

A

levered NPV

you only need to worry about the equity holder now

will generally use a risk adjusted required equity return

37
Q

is the hurdle rate the same for unlevered NPV and levered NPV?

A

nah boyyy

The hurdle rate will be different under both scenarios

38
Q

weighted average cost of capital (WACC)

A
  1. Find percentage of the asset that is for debt and equity
  2. Find multiply the one for debt proportion by interest rate and multiply the equity proportion by the return the equity holders expect to make

the combined proportional cost of the debt and equity used to finance a property or entity

39
Q

WACC formula

A

(equity / (equity + debt)) * cost of equity
+
(debt / (equity + debt)) * cost of debt

40
Q

WACC formula If the entity is subject to tax

A

(equity / (equity + debt)) * cost of equity
+
(debt / (equity + debt)) * cost of debt * (1 - tax rate)

41
Q

The IRR

A

the rate of return of the investment

discount rate which will give an NPV of zero

The IRR is compared to the hurdle rate of the investor

the most widely used investment metric in real estate

42
Q

then investment is made when the IRR > Hurdle rate or the IRR < Hurdle rate?

A

IRR > Hurdle rate

The greater the IRR the more attractive the investment

43
Q

a levered IRR will be compared with a levered or unlevered hurdle rate?

A

levered hurdle rate

44
Q

an unlevered IRR will be compared with a levered or unlevered hurdle rate?

Generally applies to profits after the financial partner has achieved his targeted IRR

49
