Study Notes
Real Estate Appraisal Concepts
- Tangible amenity example: Free rent is categorized as a tangible amenity.
- A savings account yielding $700 at a 7% interest rate reflects a total deposit of $10,000.
Income Property Valuation
- An income property generating $50,000 annually, sold for $500,000, has a gross income multiplier of 10.
- Considerations for gross income multiplier analysis include expense ratio, included services, and location.
Rental Income and Market Dynamics
- Market rent is defined as the potential gross rent, not the actual contract rent.
- Property taxes are classified as a specific expense rather than a general expense category.
Occupancy and Rents
- If a property has a 100% occupancy rate while the local typical rate is 95%, it may indicate that rents are too low.
- A comparison of vacancy factors: two-bedroom units typically have a higher vacancy factor than one-bedroom units.
Expenses and Replacement Costs
- If five stoves cost $4,000 to replace, the projected annual expense per unit for replacements over 10 years is $800.
- Excess rent occurs when market rent falls below contract rent.
Income Capitalization Principles
- Income capitalization estimates income property value based on net income conversion to capital value, reflecting economic principles like time value of money.
- Hypothecation refers to using property as collateral for loans, a key consideration in capitalization techniques.
Capitalization Rates and Methods
- The overall rate is the most frequently utilized capitalization rate in appraisals.
- Direct comparison is the preferred method to derive a capitalization rate among various available methods.
Capital Recovery Methods
- The annuity or Inwood method allows for capital recovery from annual income in a manner comparable to loan repayment.
- Direct capitalization is recognized as the simplest method for income capitalization.
Financial Returns and Recapturing Investments
- For a $600,000 property with a 75% loan at a 12% mortgage constant, the property must generate $57,000 in net income for a 2% cash return on the down payment.
- A 10-year recapture for the building portion priced straight-line indicates a recapture rate of 10%.
Loan Payment Components
- Recapture of investment capital represents the loan payment portion dedicated to the principal payoff.
- The total property value of a newly constructed 10,000 square-foot building is determined to be $740,000, considering replacement costs, economic rent, and anticipated expenses.
