28
what are the The two main financial metrics used in decision making for equity investors ?
Net Present Value (NPV) Internal Rate of Return (IRR) (we look 90% of the time at this)
29
what do Net Present Value (NPV) ab¡nd Internal Rate of Return (IRR) have in common?
Both of these use the cash flows we've built so far (NOI and Debt service payments) Both of these metrics use the cash flow model of the property, or real estate investment, developed as part of the financial analysis
30
The NPV
sum of the present values of the cash flows generated by the investment MINUS the initial investment Highly dependent on the discount rate
31
is the rate of return a positive NPV bigger or smaller than the discount rate?
bigger than the discount rate
32
Hurdle Rate
the rate of return required by the investor The discount rate applied The minimum return we are willing to accept
33
If the NPV returns a value greater than zero, the investment generates a rate of return greater or smaller than the hurdle rate?
greater than the hurdle rate
34
true or false The greater the NPV the more attractive the investment.
truuue
35
The NPV calculated using cash flows before interest
unlevered NPV you gotta worry about equity holder and the debt holder will generally use a risk adjusted weighted average cost of capital (WACC)
36
The NPV calculated using cash flows after interest
levered NPV you only need to worry about the equity holder now will generally use a risk adjusted required equity return
37
is the hurdle rate the same for unlevered NPV and levered NPV?
nah boyyy The hurdle rate will be different under both scenarios
38
weighted average cost of capital (WACC)
1. Find percentage of the asset that is for debt and equity 2. Find multiply the one for debt proportion by interest rate and multiply the equity proportion by the return the equity holders expect to make the combined proportional cost of the debt and equity used to finance a property or entity
39
WACC formula
(equity / (equity + debt)) * cost of equity + (debt / (equity + debt)) * cost of debt
40
WACC formula If the entity is subject to tax
(equity / (equity + debt)) * cost of equity + (debt / (equity + debt)) * cost of debt * (1 - tax rate)
41
The IRR
the rate of return of the investment discount rate which will give an NPV of zero The IRR is compared to the hurdle rate of the investor the most widely used investment metric in real estate
42
then investment is made when the IRR > Hurdle rate or the IRR < Hurdle rate?
IRR > Hurdle rate The greater the IRR the more attractive the investment
43
a levered IRR will be compared with a levered or unlevered hurdle rate?
levered hurdle rate
44
an unlevered IRR will be compared with a levered or unlevered hurdle rate?
unlevered hurdle rate

48
to whom a promote usually applied?
Often given to the investment manager or operating partner as a form of bonus for achieving a higher IRR Generally applies to profits after the financial partner has achieved his targeted IRR
