The reconstructed operating statement provides the core financial information, which forms the basis of both a current year estimate or the following years’ forecast of expected income and value.

Direct Capitalization Types Of Capitalization Rates Shortcomings Of Direct Capitalization The “IRV” Formula Risk, Return And Direct Capitalization Deriving Cap Rates from Property Sales Deriving Cap Rates From Other Sources Direct Capitalization Of Current Year Income Direct Capitalization Of Forecasted Income Tests Of Reasonableness Economic, Market And Property Related Risks CHAPTER 3: VALUING COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE VIA YIELD CAPITALIZATION Chapter 3, Valuing Commercial Real Estate Via Yield Capitalization, provides a comprehensive overview of yield capitalization. Yield capitalization is a method used to convert expected future financial benefits into a present value by discounting each future benefit at an appropriate yield rate or developing an overall rate that reflects the investment’s income pattern, value change, and yield rate.

PETROLE, CCIM, MAI CHAPTER 4: FINANCING COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE AND MEASURING INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE Chapter 4, Financing Commercial Real Estate And Measuring Investment Performance, addresses financing real estate, with the property pledged as collateral for the loan. The financing component affects the property value, as well as the equity component. Financing is an “acquisition vehicle” that has much broader implications than simply being able to acquire the property. Financing is also used to “lever up” returns over and above those obtainable utilizing only cash, to build an asset base and to “cash out” without triggering capital gains issues. Savvy investors “…negotiate a property’s’ purchase price for cash, but measure its’ value and return based on leverage…” There are both benefits and burdens associated with investing in commercial real estate. When investing, what you don’t know can and will hinder your ability to achieve your investment objectives. The financial performance of a real estate investment is quantifiable and can be measured economically. All real estate investment decisions should be based on quantifiable information and that quantifiable information should be “benchmarked” against both industry standards and market norms. Investors should purchase property based on their unique investor sentiment and preferences. They should then measure investment performance against their expectations and objectives. Measuring an investments performance also implies that the investor has actually identified their expectations and objectives. In depth presentations of topics include: Why Real Estate Is Capital Intensive How Financing Increases Acquisition Capital How Financing Affects Investment Returns How Financing Is Repaid By Property Income Sources Of Financing Costs Of Financing Case Study: Un-leveraged Property Acquisition Case Study: Leveraged Property Acquisition Measuring An Investments’ Performance The Loan-to-Value Ratio The Debt Coverage Ratio Neutral, Negative And Positive Leverage Rates Of Return To Equity And Debt Mortgage Brokers, Bankers and Correspondents Brokerage, Origination and Servicing Fees Net Present Value Internal Rate Of Return Capital Stacks Addendum: Additional Resources Additional resources are located in the addendum.
