4. Property Survey
5. Government compliance
6. Physical Inspection
7. Tax matters

Sensitivity Analysis Rundown: - ANS-1. Create the base case; which is the frame of reference
for the analysis
2. Change a single assumption and then see the effects on the NPV or IRR
3. Then you do a Scenario Analysis
What is a Scenario Analysis? - ANS-- In a sensitivity analysis when you identify the most likely,
pessimistic, and optimistic scenarios
Partitioning the IRR - ANS-- Separating the IRR cash flows to see what the PV is from the
resale and the rent.
- "How is the total IRR distributed between operating cash flow and property sale cash flow?"
- IRR on equity Investment in RE comprises two sources of cash flow: (1) cash flow from
operations and (2) cash flow from the sale of the investment.
Steps in Partitioning the IRR: - ANS-1. Compute the IRR
2. Discount cash flows from operations using the IRR
, 3. Discount cash flows from property sale using the IRR
4. Compute the %'s.
Partitioning Example: - ANS-- Equity Invested = $600,000
- Before Tax Operatin CF 1 = $40,000
- BTOCF 2 = $42,000
- BTOCF 3 = $45,000 + 800,000 from sale
- IRR = 16.48%
PV of BTOCF, =npv(.1648, 40k 42k 45k)= A
PV of BTCF(sale) =npv(.1648, 0, 0, 800,000)= B
- % of Opeartions = A / 600,000
- % from Sale = B / 600,000
Why is partitioning the IRR useful? - ANS-- Comparing alternative similar investments.
- An alternative property may have the same IRR, but if the % of return from operations is 5%
and sale 95%, there might be significant risk differences.
Which is riskier in Partitioning the IRR, sale or operating cash flows? - ANS-- The portion of
return based on the sale of the property versus the cash flows. I.e. the higher the portion in the
sale, the riskier the investment.
Variation in Risk & Return: - ANS-- Measure risk with the variance of returns.
- STDEV: the lower the stdev, the more likely an actual return is closer to the expected return.
- STDEV formula: sqrt(summation((value - mean)^2 * probability))
Coefficient of Variation formula and interpretation: - ANS-- CV = sigma / E(IRR)
- Risk per unit of expected return
- Standardized measure of stand-alone risk
Portfolio Considerations: - ANS-1. Reduce risk by combining assets into a portfolio
2. Diversification
Why use economic scenarios (scenario analysis)? - ANS-1. Used to compute the cash flows
from operations and property sale of each potential scenario.
2. Compute the IRR in each scenario.
3. Multiply the IRR by the probability of the scenario to compute the expected return
4. Need to consider risk
5. Go to Excel to see example.
What is Lease Rollover Risk? - ANS-- The uncertainty of renewal by existing tenants.
- No renewal
- Possible lengthy vacancy
- New tenant may require money for tenant improvements
- Pay commissions to a leasing agent.
