Real Estate Terminology
- Transfer Costs: Expenses associated with moving people and goods.
- Potential Gross Income (PGI): Projected revenue if a property were fully occupied at market rates with no uncollectible rent.
- Effective Gross Income (EGI): PGI less vacancy and collection losses. Calculated by subtracting the vacancy allowance and other expenses from the potential gross income.
- Operating Expenses (OE): Costs associated with running a property, excluding debt service and income taxes. Examples include property taxes and maintenance fees; NOT income taxes.
- Market Area: The geographic region from which tenants and customers are drawn. It's not a precisely defined area, but encompasses the area where most customers reside.
- Trade Area: The geographical area from which a significant portion of customers come. It isn't solely based on travel time to the location.
- Functional Obsolescence: Loss of efficiency due to outdated or defective design.
- Functional Efficiency: The degree to which a property is designed to function as intended.
- Physical Deterioration: A decrease in a property's condition, not due to design.
- Economic Obsolescence: Loss of value due to external factors like changes in the market or surrounding area.
- Market Research: A process used to estimate likely cash flow from investment options, assess investment yields, and re-evaluate assets in a portfolio for optimal results. This can aid in deciding whether to hold, refinance, refurbish, or convert properties.
Property Analysis
- Forecasting Future Benefits: Requires considering past operational history, anticipated social/political changes, and possible market value fluctuations. All relevant factors should be assessed.
- Comparable Properties: Finding comparable properties is limited by various factors, including competing properties' amenities, their functional efficiency, and location.
- Market Research Design: Real estate market analyses can involve several stages, starting with broad national/international economic trends and drilling down to regional and local trends, and ultimately to the specific property.
- Geographic Information Systems (GIS): A system that relates information to geographic locations to allow spatial analysis of data. It helps relate information from different geographic areas, like mapping the local market.
