A California appraiser needs to determine the appropriate cap rate using the band of investment method. The property will be financed with a 70% LTV loan at 6.5% interest (annual constant of 7.585%) and the investor requires a 10% equity dividend rate on the 30% equity portion. What is the overall cap rate using the band of investment method?

Correct Answer

A) 8.31%

Step 1: Mortgage component = LTV ratio × Annual Constant = 0.70 × 0.07585 = 0.053095 (5.31%). Step 2: Equity component = Equity ratio × Equity Dividend Rate = 0.30 × 0.10 = 0.03 (3.0%). Step 3: Overall cap rate = 5.31% + 3.0% = 8.31%.
