Valuation
value
Market value
investment value
Use value
mortgage value
highest and best use
highest implied value
Implicit value = post-construction value – construction cost (including developer’s profit)
Valuation method
income approach: discounted cash flow
Net operating income NOI net operating income
Definition: pre-tax deleveraging income after deducting operating expenses from real estate gross income
calculate
NOI=rental income at full occupancy (total rent of all spaces rented out) other income (other income, such as parking fees) - vacancy and collection loss (vacancy cost and collection loss) - operating expenses
Potential gross income: first two items of NOI, maximum income
Effective gross income: the first three items of NOI
gross revenue multiple method
Value = gross revenue × gross revenue multiplier
target real estate
Gross revenue multiplier = sales price/gross revenue
Comparable real estate
direct capitalization method
Assumption: NOI grows steadily every year and is sustainable
calculate
Based on the Gordon dividend growth model
capitalization rate
Also known as going-in cap rate
Under net lease, it is called all risk yield ARY, all risk yield
Deduct the present value of repair losses in the first year
discounted cash flow method
Valuation idea: Rent and discount rate are different in different periods, calculated in segments
cost approach cost approach: reconstruction
Scope of application
real estate special
Comparable transactions are difficult to obtain
basic concept
Replacement cost: The cost to rebuild a real estate using the latest technology and materials with the same utility
Reproduction cost: Rebuilding a property using original technology and materials at exactly the same cost
physical deterioration physical deterioration
repairable losscurable
Irreparable loss = (replacement cost developer profit - repairable loss) × (effective age of the building/total economic life)
obsolescence
functional obsolescence
Loss due to unreasonable design and failure to achieve intended use
positional obsolescence
Location no longer popular
Economically obsolete
No longer available under current economic conditions
Annual NOI reduction amount/capitalization rate
Valuation
Real estate value = land value construction cost developer profit-loss & obsolescence
sales comparison approach: similar transactions
Scope of application
Mostly used in villas
Valuation steps
Find the unit price of comparable real estate area
Adjust the price according to each attribute to achieve consistency with the valuation target
average
private real estate investment index
appraisal based
Disadvantages: Evaluation lag
reason
Not aware of market changes
Failure to capture market changes
Influence
Underestimating volatility
Underestimating the correlation
Thus overweight real estate positions

There is noisy data
Private real estate debt investment
Solvency Index
Debt service coverage ratio, SDCR
SDCR=current NOI/current principal and interest
Preferably greater than 1.2
Loan to Value ratio, LTV
LTV = total loan amount/real estate valuation
The lower the better
profitability index
equity dividend rate equity dividend rate
Also known as cash-on-cash return
(NOI-interest)/own capital equity
internal rate of return IRR
Leveraged internal rate of return
Equity investor perspective
Cash flow during the period is the difference between net operating income and principal and interest. Cash flow at the end of the period = selling price - outstanding liabilities
deleveraging internal rate of return
All investor perspectives
The cash flow during the period is net operating income, and the cash flow at the end of the period is the selling price of real estate.
Publicly traded real estate securities
type
REITs

Asset Liability and Leverage Analysis
management quality
Valuation
net present value method
Net present value per share NAVPS = (market value of assets - market value of liabilities) / number of outstanding shares
Valuation
Step 1: Valuing the real estate using the direct capitalization method
Step 2: Deduct non-cash rent and annualized adjustments
There is no such deduction for after-class questions
Step 3: Add the tangible asset values to obtain the total value
Step 4: Subtract the value of liabilities to obtain the net asset value
Step 5: Find NAVPS
Precautions
Different discount rates for private owners and REIT investors
The direct capitalization method using private real estate valuation is inconsistent with the public attributes of REITs.
NAV is a static metric
Capitalization rates are difficult to obtain when the market is not active
Relative value method - price multiplier
P/FFO valuation method
funds from operations, FFO
Operating cash flow FFO = accounting net income depreciation and amortization - income from selling assets
P/AFFO valuation method
adjusted funds from operations, adjusted operating cash flow, cash flow that can be used to distribute dividends
AFFO=FFO-non-cash rent-recurring maintenance capital expenditures
discounted cash flow method

Venture Capital Model
Net present value method: working backwards from the perspective of investors
IRR method: working from front to back
Leveraged Buyouts Model Leveraged Buyouts Model
Exit value definition: exit value=invest cost earnings growth multiple expansion reduction in debt
Earnings growth: PE helps companies optimize operations and increase corporate profits.
Multiple expansion: The price multiplier expands, and the profitability of the company increases, thereby increasing the multiplier.
reduction in debt: reduce debt and pay off debt after making money
Calculation: The process of dividing the pie multiple times, deducting the value of debt, preferred stock, and common stock from the exit value
Valuing private equity funds
Internal Rate of Return
IRR since inception, IRR since inception
The IRR assumption that the fund is fully liquid is inconsistent with the facts
gross internal rate of return gross IRR: IRR without deducting various expenses, measuring the investment performance of PE funds
Net internal rate of return (IRR): after deducting various expenses, it reflects the income received by investors.
