An appraiser is valuing a leased fee by discounted cash flow analysis. The landlord must replace a roof for $420,000 at the end of year three. The forecast includes all other benefits and costs, but not this cost or any reserve for it. At a positive annual discount rate, how should this obligation affect the value?
Correct Answer
B) It should reduce the leased fee value by the present value of $420,000 discounted over 3 years at the appropriate yield rate.
The forecast excludes the roof cost and any reserve for it. Add one $420,000 end-of-year-three outflow, which reduces present value by $420,000/(1+r)^3 at the positive annual rate. Being below NOI does not eliminate a cash-flow obligation; counting it again elsewhere would double count.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
The forecast excludes the roof cost and any reserve for it. Add one $420,000 end-of-year-three outflow, which reduces present value by $420,000/(1+r)^3 at the positive annual rate. Being below NOI does not eliminate a cash-flow obligation; counting it again elsewhere would double count.

Which model describes yield capitalization of property benefits?
An appraiser is valuing a duplex. A market survey of recent duplex sales reports prices at 10.8 times potential gross income, with stabilized vacancy and credit loss of 10% of PGI and no other income. The subject's rent schedule is unavailable, but the property manager's records show collected income of $54,000 a year, in line with market rent and the 10% market loss. What value is indicated?
The subject property is a fourplex with annual EGI of $72,000 and operating expenses of $28,800. Of those expenses, $18,000 is fixed and $10,800 varies in direct proportion to EGI. The owner's annual mortgage payments are $21,000. An appraiser projects that EGI will fall 10% because of higher vacancy. What is the projected NOI?
Annual NOI available for debt service is $168,000 and total annual mortgage principal and interest debt service is $120,000. What is NOI ÷ debt service?
Annual PGI is $250,000 and combined vacancy and collection loss is explicitly 12% of that same PGI base. There is no other income. What annual EGI remains?
Annual PGI is $360,000 and combined vacancy and collection loss is explicitly 8% of that same PGI base. There is no other income. What annual EGI remains?
Annual PGI is $640,000. Combined vacancy and collection loss is 6.25% of PGI. There is no other income. What EGI remains?
An appraiser is updating a prior appraisal of a triplex with potential gross income of $60,000 and no other income. The prior appraisal used vacancy and credit loss of 5% of PGI, and a new survey of competing rentals indicates 8%. The operating expenses of $24,000 are property taxes, insurance and contract services that do not vary with occupancy, and the market overall rate remains 7.5%. By what percentages do effective gross income and indicated value decrease?
Annual potential rental income is $600,000 and vacancy loss alone is $36,000. What percentage of potential rent does that loss represent?
In the subject's market, lenders on fourplexes have lowered their typical loan-to-value ratio from 70% to 60%. The annual mortgage constant remains 5% and the equity dividend rate remains 10%. The subject's NOI has not changed. How does this affect the overall rate indicated by the band of investment and the indicated value?
