,Topic 1 Real Estate Investment Analysis and Financial Leverage

1. Investment Analysis

Risks for RE Investment
1. Operating Cost – Electricity, Property tax, Refurbishment, Management agency cost
2. Vacancy – Opportunity cost of not letting out, Vacancy is riskier than leasing risk
3. Natural Disaster – Damage to property
4. Leasing – Tenant default risk, fluctuation of lease contracts (e.g. expiry)
5. Liquidity – RE is disposed in large lot size (i.e. Usually involve leverage, greater risk),
Indivisibility & Illiquidity (than other FAs) are the largest downside risks

Opportunities for RE Investment
1. Reduce Operating Cost – Energy efficiency (Water, heating)
2. Capital Gain from Terminal Value – Intrinsically determined by how well can be rented out
3. Gain from Rental Growth – TV is a function of rent -> rental growth is important

Income Producing Properties
1. Office Properties ***
- Location *** (CBD: Agglomeration: knowledge spillovers, Public transport brings clients
& workers in, infrastructure e.g. telecommunication) (Suburban: Highway, Parking ***)
- Tenant Mix *** (Multiple tenants: ↓Risk but may ↑OPEX)
- Age *** (New buildings are more efficient, Open planning spaces, Fake ceiling etc.)
- Iconic *** (e.g. BoE)
2. Industrial Properties
- Location to airport, railway, highway ***
3. Residential Properties ***
- Location to amenities, hospital, good school, transportation, consumption opp. ***
- Energy efficiency, Neighborhood, Age, Health & Safety ***
- Usually owned by big RE developers as it is expensive for single entity to develop
- More profitable for big RE developers due to synergy & less agency problem (↑eff.)
4. Retail Properties
- Location *** (Accessibility to highway/Large no. of parking lots available)
- Extra income received from car park
- Strategic choice of retailers’ location in a mall (spread out well-known brands), both
renters and landlords ↑Revenue ↓Cost
5. Hotel
- Location & Accessibility ***

Demand Drivers
- HH: Age, HH structures, Ethnicity etc.
- Office: Potential access to highly educated workers, Age of workforce

Supply Drivers
- Interest rate
- Cost of construction (Time, Opportunity cost for capital)
- Vacancy (Excess supply in a tight market is not ideal)

,Valuation of IPP: 1. Discounted Cash Flow Method
- Forecast expected future CF -> Ascertain required return -> Discount CF to PV at required R
- Values occurred in different periods are associated to different risk (i.e. discount rate)
- Discount Rate = Rf + Rp (Rp varies across people, diff type & length of inve’ment & risk pref)
- Uncertain CF (Signed lease CF vs Expected CF not guaranteed) subjects to higher discount rate
- Traditional DCF: Discount CF with appropriate rates in related periods
- Alternative DCF: Discount all CF at intra-lease DR -> Discount uncertain CF at inter-lease DR
- Intra-lease DR: Reflect risk that tenant might default on contractual lease obligation
- Inter-lease DR: Reflect uncertainty of future lease contract (rental mkt risk) & sales price
- Sometimes use blended IRR as shortcut (previously observed returns of similar buildings)
- Reality: Complicated & variety contracts, Uncertain over correct DR

Valuation of IPP: 2. Direct Capitalisation (Cap Rate)
- Measures how risky particular types of property are
- Used to reflect risks & opportunities: ↑Risk(un?)/↓Opp(growth)-> ↑Cap Rate -> ↓Worth, VV
- Varies overtime: Location, Tenant mix, Anchored tenants
$%&' $%&
- 𝑉" = or 𝐶𝑎𝑝 𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑒 = 𝐴𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝑂𝑏𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑣𝑒𝑑 & 𝐶𝑜𝑚𝑝𝑟𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 ( )
()* ,)-./0123-4 H
- Step: Determine cap rate + Estimate initial NOI, by observation for similar properties
- Still applicable if g is negative
- If g>r, opportunity may not stabilised, property is new to market, difficult to apply cap rate
- If nominator already includes growth, don’t use r-g as denominator, double counting otherwise
- Going-in CR (NOI t=1/V): Use when buying properties
- Going-out CR (NOI t=11/V): Use when selling properties as to find property’s TV
- Stabilised CR (Stabilised NOI/V): Average of all NOI over holding periods

Valuation of IPP: 3. Gross Income Multiplier (GIM)
H)MN.
- 𝐺𝐼𝑀 = Value of property represented in multiple of gross revenue
012OO ,.P.QN.
- Require less info than CR, difficult to apply in real estate practice, only for small apartments
when expense record not available
- GIM and GR observed from local rental market

Valuation of IPP: 4. Equivalent Yield

- 𝑉= + [
W W (YZW)
- 2 Parts: Current income up to next rent review + Current estimate of rental value at review

Valuation of IPP: 5. Sales Comparison Approach
- Analyse data of recently sold highly comparable properties -> Adjust for difference
- Rationale: No one would pay more for a property than other recent investors

Valuation of IPP: 6. Construction Cost Approach
- Analyse construction costs and cost of buying land
- Rationale: No one would pay more for a property than it would cost to build it

, Choice of Discount Rate
- Specific to type of property and its contribution to portfolio (i.e. portfolio required return)
- Depend on risk characteristics of project (Diff mission diff risk, e.g. pension vs speculator, LR vs SR)
- Reflect opportunity cost of capital (probably a safe bond offering same return as invest in RE)
- From: Surveys, Historical data, Observed transaction of similar properties
- Element of subjectivity towards discount rate is involved depend on portfolio composition

Pro Forma Basics (Multi-year CF forecast)
- Shown to lenders (Ability to repay) and to outside investors (Value to be generated)

Reversion CF Property Value at Time of Sale By Going-out Cap Rate (Risk & Opportunity),

Measures of Investment Performance using Ratio
- Price PSF, Cap rate, Equity dividend rate (NOI/Equity), Debt coverage ratio (***Mortgage nego.)

Measures of Investment Performance using CF Projections
NPV
- Maximise NPV across all mutually exclusive alternatives
- Accept projects when NPV ≥ 0
- Too Good?: Hidden problems to be discovered in future, Over-confident assumptions,
Ethical issues, Omitted expenses (CAPEX, Borrowing cost, Vacancy, Leasing concession)
IRR (Rate that sets expected future CF to be worth the given price, Used to rank projects)
- Maximise difference between project’s expected IRR and required return
- Reject when expected IRR ≤ Required return (Hurdle rate)
