Q

Principle of Contribution

Economics Principles of Value 2/8

A

The value of each component contributes to the total value
The contribution value of an item is different than cost of the item

Not-so-smart investment VS. over-improvement

Q

Principle of Change

Economics Principles of Value 4/8

A

Any change can affect value of the property

18
Q

Principle of Conformity

Economics Principles of Value 5/8

A

Values are highest when houses in the neighborhood are roughly the same

19
Q

Principle of Regression

Economics Principles of Value 6/8

A

When lower-value properties surround the subject, its price can be dragged down

20
Q

Principle of Progression

Economics Principles of Value 7/8

A

The opposite of regression

Value goes up if surrounded by better properties

21
Q

Principle of Competition

Economics Principles of Value 8/8

A

Notion of supply and demand

22
Q

3 Main approach to determining value

A

1) sales comparison approach (comps)
2) cost approach (how much to replace)
3) income capitalization approach (ROI)

23
Q

Sales comparison approach

Approach to determining value 1/3

A

Aka, Direct sales comparison approach/market data approach
– based off the principle of substitution and contribution
- value is estimated by comparing the subject property to the sales price of similar properties around
– mostly use for owner-occupied residential properties and vacant land

Formula: subject property value = comparable property sale +or- adjustments.

*Adjustments: + or - to a comparable property’s sales price based on subject property’s differences (features, age, size, market)

24
Q

Comparable Market Analysis (CMA)

A

Report that compares prices of recently sold/listed homes (comparables) in order to estimate the market value of a similar property (subject property) located in the same area

Steps:

  • evaluate neighborhood
  • evaluate subject property
  • find comparables
  • compare and adjust selected comparables
  • establish a listing price range
25
Cost Approach | Approach to determining value 2/3
Aka, summation approach/reproduction cost/cost-depreciation - determines how much it would cost to replace the building/improvement * Formula: property value = reproduction cost - depreciation + land value
26
Replacement cost | Coast approach for determining value
Cost of giving new building similar feature using comparable modern materials at current prices
27
Reproduction Cost | Approach to determining cost value, cost approach
Cost of procuring exact copies of the building’s component preserving styles & materials
28
Types of Depreciation (2) and Classifications (2)
Types: A. Physical Deterioration (wear overtime) B. Obsolescence (loss of value due to functional or external/economic) Classification: 1) Curable (can be fixed and at reasonable price), i.e. physical and functional 2) Incurable, i.e. physical (foundation issue), functional, obsolescence (outdated floorplan) and external
29
Age of Property (2) & Economic Life
1) Chronological Age (literal age of a property) 2) Effective Age (estimated age influenced by updates/maintenance) Economic life = length of time for which an improvement is expected to remain functional and useful
30
Age-Life Depreciation
Determines how much longer (% years) are left on the property (useful life) Depreciation (%) = Age of property/total useful life
31
Income Approach | Approach to determining value 3/3
Used for commercial buildings Value (V) = net operating income (NOI)/capitalization rate (R)
32
ROI | Income approach
ROI = Net Profit / Initial investment
33
Capitalization Rate | Income approach
Formula: (Net Operating Income/Current Market Value)*100 Calculate the percentage expected annual income earned over a property’s value It’s determined by external factors
34
Potential Gross Income vs Effective Gross Income | Income approach valuation
- Potential Gross Income (PGI) = amount of income the property would bring if it was 100% occupied. It’s contract rent + projected rent of empty units at market value - Effective Gross Income (EGI) = PGI + other income (laundry machine, rent event space, etc.) - income loss (vacancies and collections)
35
Net Operating Income | Income approach valuation
Net Operating Income = Effective Gross Income - Operating Expenses Operating Expenses are occasional & continuous expenses required for the operation of an income-producing property. NB: debt obligations (ex. Mortgage) is not an expense
36
Automated valuation models
A computerized valuation of a property that takes into account comparables, tax assessors, nationwide market values and sales history
37
Reconciliation (valuation)
Finding of a fair value using multiple appraised values, whether they be of different approaches or the same
38
Gross Rent Multiplier & Gross Income Multiplier | Income approach valuation
- Gross Rent Multiplier (GRM) = Ratio of the price of investment property to it’s annual rental income before EBITDA GRM = Property Price/Annual Rent Income - Gross Income Multiplier (GIM) = same as GRM + other sources of income GIM = Property Price/(Annual Rent Income + Other income) The LOWER the Gross Income Multiplier, the better the Investment may be.
39
Depreciation | Approach to determining value, cost approach
Reduction in value for any reason
40
Fair Value
The highest price a buyer is willing to pay and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept
