Price may not be the same as value.  DO APPRAISERS AND SALESPEOPLE LOOKING AT VALUE THE SAME WAY?  How do you compare one real estate investment to another?  WHY WOULD A PERSON MAKE AN INVESTMENT IN REAL ESTATE, IF CAPITALIZATION RATES ARE 5%, WHEN BOND RATES ARE MORE THAN THAT?  Is appreciation measurable?  WHAT DOES TIME VALUE OF MONEY HAVE TO DO WITH IT?  This class will answer all the above questions and address investment properties from the investor’s, licensee’s and appraiser’s perspective.  This is a class with real life scenarios – not just theoretical problems.  On Day 4, learn procedures to appraise properties for which there are no comparable sales.

 Day 2: Real Estate Investments - Price vs. Value: Reconstruct an income stream…. Gross Rent Multipliers….Capitalization Rates.  Why are cap rates so low? Is a Direct Cap Rate a rate of return?  Why don’t Real Estate Investments make sense - compared to other investments - if cap rates are considered to be the criteria?  Why would a prudent investor invest in multi-family real estate at 5%, when corporate bonds pay approximately the same interest?

  Day 3: Real Estate Investments - Evaluation Tools: Understand the time value of money, the six functions of $1 and why it is important for real estate brokers and appraisers.  Learn to how to use a financial calculator.

   Day 4: Real Estate Investment Analysis; Discounted Cash Flow:  What is implied by V=I/R?  Why is it so important to understand the Discounted Cash Flow model?  How does YIELD enter into the price/value/evaluation equation?  LEARN TO USE THE CASH FLOW FUNCTION OF THE FINANCIAL CALCULATOR to determine Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR). Learn procedures to appraise properties for which there are no comparables.
