Q

Positive Net Absorption

A

More commercial space was leased/absorbed than what was vacated. Leads to a decrease in supply causing rents to rise.

Q

Central Place Theory Principles (2)

A
  1. If a territory is underserved, there is room for a new central site
  2. If a central site is already effectively located, it will be difficult to develop a new such site nearby

25
Employment Multiplier
Net total employment increase/Export employment increase (typically 2.0 to 4.0)
26
Population Multiplier
Net total population increase/Export employment increase (typically 2.5 to 9.0)
27
Hurdle Rate
Rate of return required
28
Primary Centripetal Forces (3)
1. Economies of scale 2. Economies of agglomeration 3. Positive locational externalities
29
SE Quadrant
Stock adjustment quadrant. How the new construction relates to the existing stock of space
30
SW Quadrant
Construction quadrant. How the amount of new construction is determined.
31
NE Quadrant
Rent determination quadrant. How rents are determined.
32
NW Quadrant
Valuation quadrant. How properties are valued in the asset market
33
Four Quadrant Model
The market is dynamic and always trying to move towards equilibrium but often overshoots or undershoots supply and demand
34
Cap Rate Perceived Risk
How risky is this investment relative to others? Greater risk = higher cap rate required
35
Cap Rate Growth Expectations
Future cash flow projections. Higher growth expectations = lower cap rate
36
Cap Rate Opportunity Cost of Capital
Considers how much investors could earn on other types of investment assets. Higher OCC = higher cap rate
37
Cash-on-Cash Returns
Annual before-tax cash flow/Total equity invested
38
Holding Period Return Formula
Income + (Ending value - Beginning value)/Beginning value
39
Mortgage Equivalent Yield
12 payments
40
Bond Equivalent Yield
2 payments
41
Sector Model of Urban Land Use (Hoyt)
Growth tends to extend outward from the city center along transportation lines and specific types of development tend to cluster together in patterns.
42
Effect of Negative Externalities
The boundary may have a depressing effect on adjacent location rent
43
Neighborhood Succession Theory
Location rents and values tend to stay nearly constant once urban development has occurred until changes in the highest and best use cause sudden or sharp changes in rents and values
44
Holding Period Returns (HPR)
Return for a single period. Assumes all cash flows occur only at the beginning and end of the period of time. AKA periodic returns
45
Equity Multiple
The number of times an equity investor has received their original investment back
46
Equity Multiple Formula
Total distributed returns/Equity paid-in
47
Concentric Ring Model (Burgess)
Growth starts with a CBD at the heart of the city and RE prices lower as you move away from CBD
48
Cap Rate Formula
Annual Net Income/Price
49
Annual Net Income Formula
Cap Rate x Property Price
50
Property Price Formula
Annual Net Income/Cap Rate
51
Central Place Theory Concepts (2)
1. Threshold: the minimum population needed to make a service viable at a particular place 2. Range: the maximum distance a consumer is willing to travel
52
Economies of Agglomeration
Productivity advantages of physical clustering (think Amazon)
53
Present Value Formula
FV/(1+i)^n
54
Negative Feedback Loop
A dampening mechanism that tends to make a system self-regulating
55
Negative Feedback in RE
The ability of the asset market to regulate the flow of financial capital to the development industry
56
How are the space markets and asset markets linked?
The space market determines the operating cash flows of the RE assets that make up the asset market, which informs the activity of the development industry
57
EAR Formula
Enter [n] and [i] then [CHS][PMT][FV]
58
Nominal Rate
The stated annual rate of interest before inflation is added
59
Bust Cycle
Space markets see an extended period of falling occupancy and rents
60
Risk Free Rate
The theoretical rate of return for an investment with no-risk including default risk. Compensates for pure time value of money.
61
Holding Period Return Formula
Income + (Ending value-beginning value)/beginning value
62
Advantages of IRR
1. Time value of money 2. Simplicity (easy measure to calculate) 3. Hurdle rate not required
63
Disadvantages of IRR
1. Ignores size of the project 2. Doesn't consider unplanned future costs 3. Ignores reinvestment rates
64
Relationship between discount rate and valuation
Higher discount rate = lower asset values
65
Natural Vacancy
Long run vacancy in the market, indicates supply and demand
66
Vacancy Rate
% of built space that is not currently occupied (some vacancy is normal)
67
Constant Growth Perpetuity in Arrears Formula
value = cash flow/(discount rate-growth rate) OR cap rate
68
Discounted Cash Flow Analysis
The value of a property is equal to the expected future cash flows
69
DCF Formula
PV = CF1/(1+R)^1 + CF2/(1+R)^2...
70
Annualizing Returns Formula
(1+R)^(1/t)-1
71
Shadow Space
Space that it either sublet or unoccupied for growth, storage, etc.
72
Economies of Scale
Cheaper per unit to produce more at one place due to fixed costs
73
Location Quotient
(local industry employment/total local employment)/(national industry employment/total national employment)
74
Positive Locational Externalities
One firm benefits from another nearby (could be as few as two firms)
75
Return on Cost Formula (developer)
First stabilized year NOI/total project costs
76
Public Markets Equity Assets
Stocks, REITS, Mutual Funds, Exchange Traded Funds
77
Private Market Equity Assets

Public Market Debt Assets
Bonds, Mortgaged-Backed Securities, Money Instruments, Mutual Funds, Exchange Traded Funds
79
Private Market Debt Assets
Bank Loans, Whole Mortgages, Venture Debt/Leveraged Buyouts
80
NPV Investment Rule
NPV>0: investment produces value above rate of return NPV<0: investment does not produce value about rate of return NPV = 0: the investment is at the return threshold
81
Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
The discount rate (%) that generates an NPV of 0
82

Potential NOI/Purchase Price
83
Cash-on-Cash Returns Formula
Annual before-tax cash flow/total equity invested
84
