Study Notes
Real Estate Investment Economics
- Appreciation occurs when an investment increases in value over time due to rising demand.
- Bonds serve as both debt investments and securities, making them unique in the investment landscape.
- As safety increases for an investment, its liquidity typically also rises.
- Real estate has the potential for the highest yield compared to bonds, certificates of deposit, or savings accounts.
- A sale-leaseback transaction involves a company selling a property and then leasing it from the new owner, allowing continued use of the asset.
- Disadvantages of real estate investment include illiquidity, immobility, and risk of loss, but leverage may not always be a disadvantage.
- The capitalization rate represents the expected return an investor anticipates from a real estate investment within the income approach to valuation.
- The principle of substitution indicates that consumers will opt for a lower-priced alternative when available.
- A seller's market arises when demand outstrips supply, exemplified by increased prices due to insufficient available units.
- The absorption rate for apartments determines how long it will take to lease all available units; with 120 units and a yearly leasing rate of 360, it would take four months to absorb the supply.
- Business cycles typically progress through prosperity, recession, and recovery phases.
- In a small town with new employment opportunities and insufficient apartments, prices will likely rise until more units are built.
- Overbuilding issues in real estate correlate with the prosperity phase of larger business cycles.
- Seasonal demand fluctuations, such as high summer demand for rentals in a resort area, reflect the category of population change in social trends.
- Demographic trends affecting supply and demand include fewer larger families, impacting the need for larger apartments.
- The Federal Reserve does not implement monetary policy through passing appropriations bills; instead, it focuses on reserve requirements, key interest rates, and open market operations.
- To stimulate the economy, the Federal Reserve often lowers interest rates.
- Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are entities that buy mortgage loans from lenders, repackage them, and sell them as securities.
- A buyer's market in the housing sector indicates that demand is low relative to supply, resulting in decreased pricing pressure.
