Q
David owned a building worth $1,500,000. He has debt service of $7,500 per month, of which 90% is interest. He has a potential rental income of $900,000 and a vacancy rate of 7%. His operating expenses are 40% of the Effective Gross income. In addition to his operating expenses, he has reserves of $30,000, depreciation of $50,000 and an income tax bracket of 28%. What will David's after-tax cash flow on this building be?
• $332,200
• $362,200
• $260,784
• $567,903
A

$260,784
Calculate the Effective Gross Income using Potential Gross Income and Vacancy and Collection. Calculate Operating Expenses (minus Reserves for replacements as you are calculating for Taxable income and Reserves would be re-added after net so this would self-cancel). Debt service includes principal and interest payments so the 90% interest is inconsequential. Subtract Depreciation to get Before Tax Cash Flow, calculate taxes and the final answer is $260,784.

$900,000	Potential Gross Income
- 63,000	Vacancy and Collection
$837,000	Effective Gross Income
$334,800	Operating Expenses (you can take out for Reserves, but since we are calculating for “After tax flow” they would have to be re-added)
$502,200	Net Income for taxes
-$ 90,000	Debt Service (Debt Service Includes principal and interest)
-$ 50,000	Depreciation
$362,200	Before Tax Cash Flow
-$101,416	Taxes Due at 28%
$ 260,784
