Investment Contract




Critical test in any real estate transaction is
the manner in which the property is
marketed. Is the property alone offered, or it
is offered with management or in an entity
arrangement sufficient to constitute an

They are:

1. Investment in a common enterprise.
2. Profit motive; and
3. Expectations that the profit would derive from
the efforts of the seller (sponsor) or a third
party.

Investment
Purchase of a property with the expectation
of future profit to maximize wealth. Obtain
the highest return (income plus capital
appreciation) over an extended period of
time.
 Influencing factors include (RALMY) Risk,
Appreciation (inflation/deflation), Liquidity,

Fixed Return vs. Variable Return
Fixed Return Investment means rate of
return is established at the beginning of the
investment and is committed for a specific
period of time.
 Variable Return Investment means rate of
return varies according to the performance of
the investment.
 Remember, real estate generally is a variable
return investment.
 “How much additional risk is acceptable for a
1% increase in the expected rate of return?”

Real Estate Investment
Any real property bought with the intention to
accumulate wealth or to gain a profit – the
buyer’s intention for use of property rather
than the actual nature of the property.
 Single-family home as investment real estate
is purchased with the intention of buying,
holding and renting it for investment
purposes and hoping it will increase in value.
 Investors concerned primarily with a return of
(and on) their investment through cash flow
from operations and sale proceeds.

the owner to generate income.
 The market is primarily local.
 Ownership is usually individual or corporate.
 The property is usually owner-occupied.
 The value is usually based on market and

Investment Properties Characteristics








The amount of financing based on the ability of the
investment to produce income as well as owner’s
credit worthiness.
Generally, the market is local except very large
investments where market is national/ international.
Ownership rights are either fee simple (freehold) or
leasehold and can be held individually, corporately,
or through joint-venture or syndications.
The property usually leased to third-party tenants.
The value is based on investment value. The return
is anticipated from operations and/or eventual sale.

Slide 13

© 2002 By Default!

Areas of Consideration
Return is usually commensurate with risk.
 Potential Income Stream can affect the
investor’s perception of risk, according to the
following 3 characteristics of income:


• Quantity of the net income (how much?)
• Quality of the income (how good?)
• Certainty of the net income (how long?)

Appreciation of both land and buildings.
 Liquidity (readily convertible to cash) – Real
Estate has limitations but has partial liquidity
as owner can obtain a loan on property.

Consideration Areas, Continued …
Management involvement – degree can be
controlled by nature of the investment.
 Yield (result of the investment) varies.


• Return OF is the return of the amount of money
invested over the life of the investment.
• Return ON is a return for the use of that capital over
the life of the investment.

Leverage (use of borrowed funds to finance
a portion of the cost).
 Taxation (how the investment income is
affected by all forms of taxation).

sell, redevelop, refinance, effect changes,
obtain new tenants, etc.
 Potential tax advantage.
 Better than average after-tax retun on
investment through operations, a retirement
of debt (mortgage), and positive financing
leverage.

Investment Disadvantages
There is risk – always a possibility of a
downturn in income and value.
 Limited liquidity – real estate may not be
liquid because it can’t be disposed of quickly.
Stocks are liquid.
 Requires personal involvement – real estate
ownership requires more personal attention
and involvement partly because one can
have more control. Don’t forget about
property management for cost.

with the following:








Smaller initial cash investment
Largest periodic cash flows

Primary motivation is to obtain the future
cash flows the investments produce – “more
is better than less”.

Cash Flow Analysis
Annual Property Operating Data Form
(APOD) provides a marketing tool
describing income and financial data to
develop an operating statement and to
determine cash flow before taxes.
 It is standardized and communicates with
buyers in selling and supporting value
and presents owner’s cash flow (before
taxes) with existing/alternative financing.
 You need to know what each line is used
for and how it is used.

Cash Flow Analysis Formula
Effective Rental Income = Scheduled
Rental Income – Vacancy & Credit Loss

Rental Income + Other Income
 Net Operating Income = Gross Operating
Income – Total Operating Costs
 Cash Flow Before Taxes = Net Operating
Income – Annual Debt Service.

Reconstructed Statement
Developing a Reconstruction Statement
(proforma) allows the forecasting of the
property’s cash flow before taxes under
normal market conditions for the coming
year. (Buyers are paying for future potential)
 Aids present or potential owner in
understanding the future investment potential
of the property.
 To develop, listing information (personal
knowledge and research), brokerage files
and interviews can be invaluable.

Investment Measures
Value is directly related to use. Market
Value, Assessed Value, Reproduction Cost,
and Value in Use - ways to determine value.
 Time is money. Agent must be able to
adequately forecast revenue and expenses
(income streams).
 Present day value can be put on a future
benefit.
 If you know income stream and desired
return, through methods of discounting and
compounding, you can arrive at a present
day value on an investment.

Discounting/Compounding
Money has a ‘time value’.
 Compounding is the amount a dollar will
grow over a given number of periods at a
given rate of interest, if the total investment
including interest is left in the investment.
 Discounting (reverse of compounding) is
computing the value of a dollar to be
received in the future at a given discount
rate.
 Not having money at hand is opportunity
cost.

Financing Investments


Financing of real estate investments is
generally based on the ability of the property
to generate sufficient income to repay funds.
Several variable items are significant:
• Rate of interest on the loan.
• Ratio of the loan amount to the value of the property.
• Term of the loan or the period over which the loan is
made and the method of amortization of the loan.
• Ratio of annual debt service to net operating income
or the coverage factor.



The higher the interest rate, the lower the
ratio of the loan amount to the value of the
property – safety of investment decreases.

Principles of Leveraging
Positive leverage – borrowing at interest rate
below the overall rate of return.
 Neutral leverage – borrowing at interest rate
equal to the overall rate of return.
 Negative leverage – borrowing at interest
rate higher than the overall rate of return.
 Loan-to-Value Ratio = Loan Amount /
Property Value.
 Annual Debt Service (ADS) – total principal
and interest payments for year.
 Debt Coverage Ratio (DCR) = NOI / ADS
(DCR >1 if NOI is > than ADS)

Mortgage Loan, and Amortized Mortgage
Loan With a Term.
 Variety of sources including Institutional
Lenders, Private Investors and sometimes by

may include Sampling Plan, Analytical Plan
and Health and Safety Plan and then
reported in a Final Report.
 Phase III is remedial action plan which may
include Repair, Isolation, Encapsulation,
Enclosure, Removal & Disposal, hopefully
limiting a problem of Stigma – marketimposed penalty which affects property
known to be/was contaminated. Stigma is
intangible but decreases value of property
because of the fear of future hazards.

Reconstructed Statement
Developing a Reconstruction Statement
(proforma) allows the forecasting of the
property’s cash flow before taxes under
normal market conditions for the coming
year. (Buyers are paying for future potential)
 Aids present or potential owner in
understanding the future investment potential
of the property.
 To develop, listing information (personal
knowledge and research), brokerage files
and interviews can be invaluable.

Investment Measures
Value is directly related to use. Market
Value, Assessed Value, Reproduction Cost,
and Value in Use - ways to determine value.
 Time is money. Agent must be able to
adequately forecast revenue and expenses
(income streams).
 Present day value can be put on a future
benefit.
 If you know income stream and desired
return, through methods of discounting and
compounding, you can arrive at a present
day value on an investment.

Discounting/Compounding
Money has a ‘time value’.
 Compounding is the amount a dollar will
grow over a given number of periods at a
given rate of interest, if the total investment
including interest is left in the investment.
 Discounting (reverse of compounding) is
computing the value of a dollar to be
received in the future at a given discount
rate.
 Not having money at hand is opportunity
cost.

Financing Investments


Financing of real estate investments is
generally based on the ability of the property
to generate sufficient income to repay funds.
Several variable items are significant:
• Rate of interest on the loan.
• Ratio of the loan amount to the value of the property.
• Term of the loan or the period over which the loan is
made and the method of amortization of the loan.
• Ratio of annual debt service to net operating income
or the coverage factor.



The higher the interest rate, the lower the
ratio of the loan amount to the value of the
property – safety of investment decreases.

Principles of Leveraging
Positive leverage – borrowing at interest rate
below the overall rate of return.
 Neutral leverage – borrowing at interest rate
equal to the overall rate of return.
 Negative leverage – borrowing at interest
rate higher than the overall rate of return.
 Loan-to-Value Ratio = Loan Amount /
Property Value.
 Annual Debt Service (ADS) – total principal
and interest payments for year.
 Debt Coverage Ratio (DCR) = NOI / ADS
(DCR >1 if NOI is > than ADS)

Investment Contract




Critical test in any real estate transaction is
the manner in which the property is
marketed. Is the property alone offered, or it
is offered with management or in an entity
arrangement sufficient to constitute an
investment contract?
Securities law will apply every time the 3
elements of an investment contract exist.
They are:

1. Investment in a common enterprise.
2. Profit motive; and
3. Expectations that the profit would derive from
the efforts of the seller (sponsor) or a third
party.

period of time.
 Variable Return Investment means rate of
return varies according to the performance of
the investment.
 Remember, real estate generally is a variable
return investment.

Investment Properties Characteristics








The amount of financing based on the ability of the
investment to produce income as well as owner’s
credit worthiness.
Generally, the market is local except very large
investments where market is national/ international.
Ownership rights are either fee simple (freehold) or
leasehold and can be held individually, corporately,
or through joint-venture or syndications.
The property usually leased to third-party tenants.
The value is based on investment value. The return
is anticipated from operations and/or eventual sale.

Areas of Consideration
Return is usually commensurate with risk.
 Potential Income Stream can affect the
investor’s perception of risk, according to the
following 3 characteristics of income:


• Quantity of the net income (how much?)
• Quality of the income (how good?)
• Certainty of the net income (how long?)

Appreciation of both land and buildings.
 Liquidity (readily convertible to cash) – Real
Estate has limitations but has partial liquidity
as owner can obtain a loan on property.

Investment Disadvantages
There is risk – always a possibility of a
downturn in income and value.
 Limited liquidity – real estate may not be
liquid because it can’t be disposed of quickly.
Stocks are liquid.
 Requires personal involvement – real estate
ownership requires more personal attention
and involvement partly because one can
have more control. Don’t forget about
property management for cost.

Investment
Purchase of a property with the expectation
of future profit to maximize wealth. Obtain
the highest return (income plus capital
appreciation) over an extended period of
time.
 Influencing factors include (RALMY) Risk,
Appreciation (inflation/deflation), Liquidity,

Fixed Return vs. Variable Return
Fixed Return Investment means rate of
return is established at the beginning of the
investment and is committed for a specific
period of time.
 Variable Return Investment means rate of
return varies according to the performance of
the investment.
 Remember, real estate generally is a variable
return investment.
 “How much additional risk is acceptable for a
1% increase in the expected rate of return?”

Real Estate Investment
Any real property bought with the intention to
accumulate wealth or to gain a profit – the
buyer’s intention for use of property rather
than the actual nature of the property.
 Single-family home as investment real estate
is purchased with the intention of buying,
holding and renting it for investment
purposes and hoping it will increase in value.
 Investors concerned primarily with a return of
(and on) their investment through cash flow
from operations and sale proceeds.

Amenity Properties Characteristics
Amount of financing is based on the ability of
the owner to generate income.
 The market is primarily local.
 Ownership is usually individual or corporate.

Investment Properties Characteristics








The amount of financing based on the ability of the
investment to produce income as well as owner’s
credit worthiness.
Generally, the market is local except very large
investments where market is national/ international.
Ownership rights are either fee simple (freehold) or
leasehold and can be held individually, corporately,
or through joint-venture or syndications.
The property usually leased to third-party tenants.
The value is based on investment value. The return
is anticipated from operations and/or eventual sale.

Areas of Consideration
Return is usually commensurate with risk.
 Potential Income Stream can affect the
investor’s perception of risk, according to the
following 3 characteristics of income:


• Quantity of the net income (how much?)
• Quality of the income (how good?)
• Certainty of the net income (how long?)

Appreciation of both land and buildings.
 Liquidity (readily convertible to cash) – Real
Estate has limitations but has partial liquidity
as owner can obtain a loan on property.

Consideration Areas, Continued …
Management involvement – degree can be
controlled by nature of the investment.
 Yield (result of the investment) varies.


• Return OF is the return of the amount of money
invested over the life of the investment.
• Return ON is a return for the use of that capital over
the life of the investment.

Leverage (use of borrowed funds to finance
a portion of the cost).
 Taxation (how the investment income is
affected by all forms of taxation).

Investment Advantages
High degree of personal control. One ccan
sell, redevelop, refinance, effect changes,
obtain new tenants, etc.
 Potential tax advantage.
 Better than average after-tax retun on
investment through operations, a retirement
of debt (mortgage), and positive financing
leverage.
 Potential to increase the property value
through change of use or physical upgrading.

Investment Disadvantages
There is risk – always a possibility of a
downturn in income and value.
 Limited liquidity – real estate may not be
liquid because it can’t be disposed of quickly.
Stocks are liquid.
 Requires personal involvement – real estate
ownership requires more personal attention
and involvement partly because one can
have more control. Don’t forget about
property management for cost.

Investors’ Behaviour


Prudent investor will prefer the investment
with the following:








Smaller initial cash investment
Largest periodic cash flows
Largest proceeds from disposition
Earliest cash flow
Safest cash flow.

Primary motivation is to obtain the future
cash flows the investments produce – “more
is better than less”.

Financing Investments


Financing of real estate investments is
generally based on the ability of the property
to generate sufficient income to repay funds.
Several variable items are significant:
• Rate of interest on the loan.
• Ratio of the loan amount to the value of the property.
• Term of the loan or the period over which the loan is
made and the method of amortization of the loan.
• Ratio of annual debt service to net operating income
or the coverage factor.



The higher the interest rate, the lower the
ratio of the loan amount to the value of the
property – safety of investment decreases.

Principles of Leveraging
Positive leverage – borrowing at interest rate
below the overall rate of return.
 Neutral leverage – borrowing at interest rate
equal to the overall rate of return.
 Negative leverage – borrowing at interest
rate higher than the overall rate of return.
 Loan-to-Value Ratio = Loan Amount /
Property Value.
 Annual Debt Service (ADS) – total principal
and interest payments for year.
 Debt Coverage Ratio (DCR) = NOI / ADS
(DCR >1 if NOI is > than ADS)

made and the method of amortization of the loan.
• Ratio of annual debt service to net operating income
or the coverage factor.



The higher the interest rate, the lower the
ratio of the loan amount to the value of the
property – safety of investment decreases.

Principles of Leveraging
Positive leverage – borrowing at interest rate
below the overall rate of return.
 Neutral leverage – borrowing at interest rate
equal to the overall rate of return.
 Negative leverage – borrowing at interest
rate higher than the overall rate of return.
 Loan-to-Value Ratio = Loan Amount /
Property Value.
 Annual Debt Service (ADS) – total principal
and interest payments for year.
 Debt Coverage Ratio (DCR) = NOI / ADS
(DCR >1 if NOI is > than ADS)

known to be/was contaminated. Stigma is
intangible but decreases value of property
because of the fear of future hazards.

Leasing
The field of leasing open to the commercial
industry is literally unlimited.
 The only alternative to leasing is ownership.
 3 Basic types are retail, industrial and office.
 Lease is a contract between the lessor and
lessee for a term.
 Tenants receive the use and possession of
the premises for which they pay rent to the
landlord.

Types of Leases
Net Lease (net net lease or triple net lease)
requires tenant to pay all ancillary expenses
except structural repairs, landlord’s income
taxes and the landlord’s debt servicing costs.
 Gross Lease requires tenant to pay allinclusive amount to the landlord.
 Semi-Gross Lease requires landlord to
assume specified portion of operating costs.

Investment Contract




Critical test in any real estate transaction is
the manner in which the property is
marketed. Is the property alone offered, or it
is offered with management or in an entity
arrangement sufficient to constitute an
investment contract?
Securities law will apply every time the 3
elements of an investment contract exist.
They are:

1. Investment in a common enterprise.
2. Profit motive; and
3. Expectations that the profit would derive from
the efforts of the seller (sponsor) or a third
party.

Real Estate Investment
Any real property bought with the intention to
accumulate wealth or to gain a profit – the
buyer’s intention for use of property rather
than the actual nature of the property.
 Single-family home as investment real estate

 Ownership is usually individual or corporate.
 The property is usually owner-occupied.
 The value is usually based on market and
replacement costs (including land).

Investment Properties Characteristics








The amount of financing based on the ability of the
investment to produce income as well as owner’s
credit worthiness.
Generally, the market is local except very large
investments where market is national/ international.
Ownership rights are either fee simple (freehold) or
leasehold and can be held individually, corporately,
or through joint-venture or syndications.
The property usually leased to third-party tenants.
The value is based on investment value. The return
is anticipated from operations and/or eventual sale.

Areas of Consideration
Return is usually commensurate with risk.
 Potential Income Stream can affect the
investor’s perception of risk, according to the
following 3 characteristics of income:


• Quantity of the net income (how much?)
• Quality of the income (how good?)
• Certainty of the net income (how long?)

Appreciation of both land and buildings.
 Liquidity (readily convertible to cash) – Real
Estate has limitations but has partial liquidity
as owner can obtain a loan on property.

the life of the investment.

Leverage (use of borrowed funds to finance
a portion of the cost).
 Taxation (how the investment income is
affected by all forms of taxation).

Investment Disadvantages
There is risk – always a possibility of a
downturn in income and value.
 Limited liquidity – real estate may not be
liquid because it can’t be disposed of quickly.
Stocks are liquid.
 Requires personal involvement – real estate
ownership requires more personal attention
and involvement partly because one can
have more control. Don’t forget about
property management for cost.

with the following:








Smaller initial cash investment
Largest periodic cash flows
Largest proceeds from disposition
Earliest cash flow
Safest cash flow.

Primary motivation is to obtain the future
cash flows the investments produce – “more
is better than less”.

Value is directly related to use. Market
Value, Assessed Value, Reproduction Cost,
and Value in Use - ways to determine value.
 Time is money. Agent must be able to
adequately forecast revenue and expenses
(income streams).
 Present day value can be put on a future
benefit.

return, through methods of discounting and
compounding, you can arrive at a present
day value on an investment.

Discounting/Compounding
Money has a ‘time value’.
 Compounding is the amount a dollar will
grow over a given number of periods at a
given rate of interest, if the total investment
including interest is left in the investment.
 Discounting (reverse of compounding) is
computing the value of a dollar to be
received in the future at a given discount
rate.

Financing Investments


Financing of real estate investments is
generally based on the ability of the property
to generate sufficient income to repay funds.
Several variable items are significant:
• Rate of interest on the loan.
• Ratio of the loan amount to the value of the property.
• Term of the loan or the period over which the loan is
made and the method of amortization of the loan.
• Ratio of annual debt service to net operating income
or the coverage factor.



The higher the interest rate, the lower the
ratio of the loan amount to the value of the
property – safety of investment decreases.

High degree of personal control. One ccan
sell, redevelop, refinance, effect changes,
obtain new tenants, etc.
 Potential tax advantage.
 Better than average after-tax retun on
investment through operations, a retirement
of debt (mortgage), and positive financing
leverage.

Investment Disadvantages
There is risk – always a possibility of a
downturn in income and value.
 Limited liquidity – real estate may not be
liquid because it can’t be disposed of quickly.
Stocks are liquid.
 Requires personal involvement – real estate
ownership requires more personal attention
and involvement partly because one can
have more control. Don’t forget about
property management for cost.

Investors’ Behaviour


Prudent investor will prefer the investment
with the following:








Smaller initial cash investment
Largest periodic cash flows
Largest proceeds from disposition
Earliest cash flow
Safest cash flow.

Primary motivation is to obtain the future
cash flows the investments produce – “more
is better than less”.

Financing Investments


Financing of real estate investments is
generally based on the ability of the property
to generate sufficient income to repay funds.
Several variable items are significant:
• Rate of interest on the loan.
• Ratio of the loan amount to the value of the property.
• Term of the loan or the period over which the loan is
made and the method of amortization of the loan.
• Ratio of annual debt service to net operating income
or the coverage factor.



The higher the interest rate, the lower the
ratio of the loan amount to the value of the
property – safety of investment decreases.

Principles of Leveraging
Positive leverage – borrowing at interest rate
below the overall rate of return.
 Neutral leverage – borrowing at interest rate
equal to the overall rate of return.
 Negative leverage – borrowing at interest
rate higher than the overall rate of return.
 Loan-to-Value Ratio = Loan Amount /
Property Value.
 Annual Debt Service (ADS) – total principal
and interest payments for year.

Investment Contract




Critical test in any real estate transaction is
the manner in which the property is
marketed. Is the property alone offered, or it
is offered with management or in an entity
arrangement sufficient to constitute an
investment contract?
Securities law will apply every time the 3
elements of an investment contract exist.
They are:

1. Investment in a common enterprise.
2. Profit motive; and
3. Expectations that the profit would derive from
the efforts of the seller (sponsor) or a third
party.

Investment Properties Characteristics








The amount of financing based on the ability of the
investment to produce income as well as owner’s
credit worthiness.
Generally, the market is local except very large
investments where market is national/ international.
Ownership rights are either fee simple (freehold) or
leasehold and can be held individually, corporately,
or through joint-venture or syndications.
The property usually leased to third-party tenants.
The value is based on investment value. The return
is anticipated from operations and/or eventual sale.

Areas of Consideration
Return is usually commensurate with risk.
 Potential Income Stream can affect the
investor’s perception of risk, according to the
following 3 characteristics of income:


• Quantity of the net income (how much?)
• Quality of the income (how good?)
• Certainty of the net income (how long?)

Appreciation of both land and buildings.
 Liquidity (readily convertible to cash) – Real
Estate has limitations but has partial liquidity
as owner can obtain a loan on property.

ownership requires more personal attention
and involvement partly because one can
have more control. Don’t forget about
property management for cost.

with the following:








Smaller initial cash investment
Largest periodic cash flows
Largest proceeds from disposition
Earliest cash flow
Safest cash flow.

Primary motivation is to obtain the future
cash flows the investments produce – “more
is better than less”.

buyers in selling and supporting value
and presents owner’s cash flow (before
taxes) with existing/alternative financing.
 You need to know what each line is used
for and how it is used.

Investment Measures
Value is directly related to use. Market
Value, Assessed Value, Reproduction Cost,
and Value in Use - ways to determine value.
 Time is money. Agent must be able to
adequately forecast revenue and expenses
(income streams).
 Present day value can be put on a future
benefit.
 If you know income stream and desired
return, through methods of discounting and
compounding, you can arrive at a present
day value on an investment.

Discounting/Compounding
Money has a ‘time value’.
 Compounding is the amount a dollar will
grow over a given number of periods at a
given rate of interest, if the total investment
including interest is left in the investment.
 Discounting (reverse of compounding) is
computing the value of a dollar to be
received in the future at a given discount
rate.
 Not having money at hand is opportunity
cost.

Financing Investments


Financing of real estate investments is
generally based on the ability of the property
to generate sufficient income to repay funds.
Several variable items are significant:
• Rate of interest on the loan.
• Ratio of the loan amount to the value of the property.
• Term of the loan or the period over which the loan is
made and the method of amortization of the loan.
• Ratio of annual debt service to net operating income
or the coverage factor.



The higher the interest rate, the lower the
ratio of the loan amount to the value of the
property – safety of investment decreases.

Principles of Leveraging
Positive leverage – borrowing at interest rate
below the overall rate of return.
 Neutral leverage – borrowing at interest rate
equal to the overall rate of return.
 Negative leverage – borrowing at interest
rate higher than the overall rate of return.
 Loan-to-Value Ratio = Loan Amount /
Property Value.
 Annual Debt Service (ADS) – total principal
and interest payments for year.
 Debt Coverage Ratio (DCR) = NOI / ADS
(DCR >1 if NOI is > than ADS)

reported in a Final Report.
 Phase III is remedial action plan which may
include Repair, Isolation, Encapsulation,
Enclosure, Removal & Disposal, hopefully

known to be/was contaminated. Stigma is
intangible but decreases value of property
because of the fear of future hazards.

Investment Measures
Value is directly related to use. Market
Value, Assessed Value, Reproduction Cost,
and Value in Use - ways to determine value.
 Time is money. Agent must be able to
adequately forecast revenue and expenses
(income streams).
 Present day value can be put on a future
benefit.
 If you know income stream and desired
return, through methods of discounting and
compounding, you can arrive at a present
day value on an investment.

Discounting/Compounding
Money has a ‘time value’.
 Compounding is the amount a dollar will
grow over a given number of periods at a
given rate of interest, if the total investment
including interest is left in the investment.
 Discounting (reverse of compounding) is
computing the value of a dollar to be
received in the future at a given discount
rate.

Financing Investments


Financing of real estate investments is
generally based on the ability of the property
to generate sufficient income to repay funds.
Several variable items are significant:
• Rate of interest on the loan.
• Ratio of the loan amount to the value of the property.
• Term of the loan or the period over which the loan is
made and the method of amortization of the loan.
• Ratio of annual debt service to net operating income
or the coverage factor.



The higher the interest rate, the lower the
ratio of the loan amount to the value of the
property – safety of investment decreases.

Principles of Leveraging
Positive leverage – borrowing at interest rate
below the overall rate of return.
 Neutral leverage – borrowing at interest rate
equal to the overall rate of return.
 Negative leverage – borrowing at interest
rate higher than the overall rate of return.
 Loan-to-Value Ratio = Loan Amount /
Property Value.
 Annual Debt Service (ADS) – total principal
and interest payments for year.
 Debt Coverage Ratio (DCR) = NOI / ADS
(DCR >1 if NOI is > than ADS)

Investment Contract




Critical test in any real estate transaction is
the manner in which the property is
marketed. Is the property alone offered, or it
is offered with management or in an entity
arrangement sufficient to constitute an
investment contract?
Securities law will apply every time the 3
elements of an investment contract exist.
They are:

1. Investment in a common enterprise.
2. Profit motive; and
3. Expectations that the profit would derive from
the efforts of the seller (sponsor) or a third
party.

Fixed Return Investment means rate of
return is established at the beginning of the
investment and is committed for a specific
period of time.
 Variable Return Investment means rate of
return varies according to the performance of
the investment.
 Remember, real estate generally is a variable
return investment.
 “How much additional risk is acceptable for a
1% increase in the expected rate of return?”

Real Estate Investment
Any real property bought with the intention to
accumulate wealth or to gain a profit – the
buyer’s intention for use of property rather
than the actual nature of the property.
 Single-family home as investment real estate
is purchased with the intention of buying,
holding and renting it for investment
purposes and hoping it will increase in value.

Investment Properties Characteristics








The amount of financing based on the ability of the
investment to produce income as well as owner’s
credit worthiness.
Generally, the market is local except very large
investments where market is national/ international.
Ownership rights are either fee simple (freehold) or
leasehold and can be held individually, corporately,
or through joint-venture or syndications.
The property usually leased to third-party tenants.
The value is based on investment value. The return
is anticipated from operations and/or eventual sale.

Areas of Consideration
Return is usually commensurate with risk.
 Potential Income Stream can affect the
investor’s perception of risk, according to the
following 3 characteristics of income:


• Quantity of the net income (how much?)
• Quality of the income (how good?)
• Certainty of the net income (how long?)

Appreciation of both land and buildings.
 Liquidity (readily convertible to cash) – Real
Estate has limitations but has partial liquidity
as owner can obtain a loan on property.

the life of the investment.

Leverage (use of borrowed funds to finance
a portion of the cost).

Investment Disadvantages
There is risk – always a possibility of a
downturn in income and value.
 Limited liquidity – real estate may not be
liquid because it can’t be disposed of quickly.
Stocks are liquid.
 Requires personal involvement – real estate
ownership requires more personal attention
and involvement partly because one can
have more control. Don’t forget about
property management for cost.

Investment Contract




Critical test in any real estate transaction is
the manner in which the property is
marketed. Is the property alone offered, or it
is offered with management or in an entity
arrangement sufficient to constitute an
investment contract?
Securities law will apply every time the 3
elements of an investment contract exist.
They are:

1. Investment in a common enterprise.
2. Profit motive; and
3. Expectations that the profit would derive from
the efforts of the seller (sponsor) or a third
party.

things: a good rate of return on capital
investment, security of that rate of return and
potential for investment to grow in value.
Users simply look for property to house
business and concerned with location.

Fixed Return vs. Variable Return
Fixed Return Investment means rate of
return is established at the beginning of the
investment and is committed for a specific
period of time.
 Variable Return Investment means rate of
return varies according to the performance of
the investment.
 Remember, real estate generally is a variable
return investment.

Investment Properties Characteristics








The amount of financing based on the ability of the
investment to produce income as well as owner’s
credit worthiness.
Generally, the market is local except very large
investments where market is national/ international.
Ownership rights are either fee simple (freehold) or
leasehold and can be held individually, corporately,
or through joint-venture or syndications.
The property usually leased to third-party tenants.
The value is based on investment value. The return
is anticipated from operations and/or eventual sale.

investor’s perception of risk, according to the
following 3 characteristics of income:


• Quantity of the net income (how much?)
• Quality of the income (how good?)
• Certainty of the net income (how long?)

Appreciation of both land and buildings.
 Liquidity (readily convertible to cash) – Real
Estate has limitations but has partial liquidity
as owner can obtain a loan on property.

ownership requires more personal attention
and involvement partly because one can
have more control. Don’t forget about
property management for cost.

Financing Investments


Financing of real estate investments is
generally based on the ability of the property
to generate sufficient income to repay funds.
Several variable items are significant:
• Rate of interest on the loan.
• Ratio of the loan amount to the value of the property.
• Term of the loan or the period over which the loan is
made and the method of amortization of the loan.
• Ratio of annual debt service to net operating income
or the coverage factor.



The higher the interest rate, the lower the
ratio of the loan amount to the value of the
property – safety of investment decreases.

Principles of Leveraging
Positive leverage – borrowing at interest rate
below the overall rate of return.
 Neutral leverage – borrowing at interest rate
equal to the overall rate of return.
 Negative leverage – borrowing at interest
rate higher than the overall rate of return.
 Loan-to-Value Ratio = Loan Amount /
Property Value.
 Annual Debt Service (ADS) – total principal
and interest payments for year.
 Debt Coverage Ratio (DCR) = NOI / ADS
(DCR >1 if NOI is > than ADS)

Discounting/Compounding
Money has a ‘time value’.
 Compounding is the amount a dollar will
grow over a given number of periods at a
given rate of interest, if the total investment
including interest is left in the investment.
 Discounting (reverse of compounding) is
computing the value of a dollar to be
received in the future at a given discount
rate.
 Not having money at hand is opportunity
cost.

Financing Investments


Financing of real estate investments is
generally based on the ability of the property
to generate sufficient income to repay funds.
Several variable items are significant:
• Rate of interest on the loan.
• Ratio of the loan amount to the value of the property.
• Term of the loan or the period over which the loan is
made and the method of amortization of the loan.
• Ratio of annual debt service to net operating income
or the coverage factor.



The higher the interest rate, the lower the
ratio of the loan amount to the value of the
property – safety of investment decreases.

Principles of Leveraging
Positive leverage – borrowing at interest rate
below the overall rate of return.
 Neutral leverage – borrowing at interest rate
equal to the overall rate of return.
 Negative leverage – borrowing at interest
rate higher than the overall rate of return.
 Loan-to-Value Ratio = Loan Amount /
Property Value.
 Annual Debt Service (ADS) – total principal
and interest payments for year.
 Debt Coverage Ratio (DCR) = NOI / ADS
(DCR >1 if NOI is > than ADS)

Investment Contract




Critical test in any real estate transaction is
the manner in which the property is
marketed. Is the property alone offered, or it
is offered with management or in an entity
arrangement sufficient to constitute an
investment contract?
Securities law will apply every time the 3
elements of an investment contract exist.
They are:

1. Investment in a common enterprise.
2. Profit motive; and
3. Expectations that the profit would derive from
the efforts of the seller (sponsor) or a third

investment to produce income as well as owner’s
credit worthiness.
Generally, the market is local except very large
investments where market is national/ international.
Ownership rights are either fee simple (freehold) or
leasehold and can be held individually, corporately,
or through joint-venture or syndications.
The property usually leased to third-party tenants.
The value is based on investment value. The return
is anticipated from operations and/or eventual sale.

Areas of Consideration
Return is usually commensurate with risk.
 Potential Income Stream can affect the
investor’s perception of risk, according to the
following 3 characteristics of income:


• Quantity of the net income (how much?)
• Quality of the income (how good?)
• Certainty of the net income (how long?)

Appreciation of both land and buildings.
 Liquidity (readily convertible to cash) – Real
Estate has limitations but has partial liquidity
as owner can obtain a loan on property.

Investment Disadvantages
There is risk – always a possibility of a
downturn in income and value.
 Limited liquidity – real estate may not be
liquid because it can’t be disposed of quickly.
Stocks are liquid.
 Requires personal involvement – real estate
ownership requires more personal attention
and involvement partly because one can
have more control. Don’t forget about
property management for cost.

Real Estate Investment
Any real property bought with the intention to
accumulate wealth or to gain a profit – the
buyer’s intention for use of property rather
than the actual nature of the property.
 Single-family home as investment real estate
is purchased with the intention of buying,
holding and renting it for investment
purposes and hoping it will increase in value.
 Investors concerned primarily with a return of
(and on) their investment through cash flow
from operations and sale proceeds.

Amenity Properties Characteristics
Amount of financing is based on the ability of
the owner to generate income.
 The market is primarily local.
 Ownership is usually individual or corporate.
 The property is usually owner-occupied.
 The value is usually based on market and
replacement costs (including land).

Investment Properties Characteristics








The amount of financing based on the ability of the
investment to produce income as well as owner’s
credit worthiness.
Generally, the market is local except very large
investments where market is national/ international.
Ownership rights are either fee simple (freehold) or
leasehold and can be held individually, corporately,
or through joint-venture or syndications.
The property usually leased to third-party tenants.
The value is based on investment value. The return
is anticipated from operations and/or eventual sale.

Areas of Consideration
Return is usually commensurate with risk.
 Potential Income Stream can affect the
investor’s perception of risk, according to the
following 3 characteristics of income:


• Quantity of the net income (how much?)
• Quality of the income (how good?)
• Certainty of the net income (how long?)

Appreciation of both land and buildings.
 Liquidity (readily convertible to cash) – Real
Estate has limitations but has partial liquidity
as owner can obtain a loan on property.

Consideration Areas, Continued …
Management involvement – degree can be
controlled by nature of the investment.
 Yield (result of the investment) varies.


• Return OF is the return of the amount of money
invested over the life of the investment.
• Return ON is a return for the use of that capital over
the life of the investment.

Leverage (use of borrowed funds to finance
a portion of the cost).
 Taxation (how the investment income is
affected by all forms of taxation).

Investment Advantages
High degree of personal control. One ccan
sell, redevelop, refinance, effect changes,
obtain new tenants, etc.
 Potential tax advantage.
 Better than average after-tax retun on
investment through operations, a retirement
of debt (mortgage), and positive financing
leverage.
 Potential to increase the property value
through change of use or physical upgrading.

Investment Disadvantages
There is risk – always a possibility of a
downturn in income and value.
 Limited liquidity – real estate may not be
liquid because it can’t be disposed of quickly.
Stocks are liquid.
 Requires personal involvement – real estate
ownership requires more personal attention
and involvement partly because one can
have more control. Don’t forget about
property management for cost.

Investors’ Behaviour


Prudent investor will prefer the investment
with the following:








Smaller initial cash investment
Largest periodic cash flows
Largest proceeds from disposition
Earliest cash flow
Safest cash flow.

Primary motivation is to obtain the future
cash flows the investments produce – “more
is better than less”.

Financing Investments


Financing of real estate investments is
generally based on the ability of the property
to generate sufficient income to repay funds.
Several variable items are significant:
• Rate of interest on the loan.
• Ratio of the loan amount to the value of the property.
• Term of the loan or the period over which the loan is
made and the method of amortization of the loan.
• Ratio of annual debt service to net operating income
or the coverage factor.



The higher the interest rate, the lower the
ratio of the loan amount to the value of the
property – safety of investment decreases.

Principles of Leveraging
Positive leverage – borrowing at interest rate
below the overall rate of return.
 Neutral leverage – borrowing at interest rate
equal to the overall rate of return.
 Negative leverage – borrowing at interest
rate higher than the overall rate of return.
 Loan-to-Value Ratio = Loan Amount /
Property Value.

lessee for a term.
 Tenants receive the use and possession of
the premises for which they pay rent to the
landlord.

Investment Contract




Critical test in any real estate transaction is
the manner in which the property is
marketed. Is the property alone offered, or it
is offered with management or in an entity
arrangement sufficient to constitute an
investment contract?
Securities law will apply every time the 3
elements of an investment contract exist.
They are:

1. Investment in a common enterprise.
2. Profit motive; and
3. Expectations that the profit would derive from
the efforts of the seller (sponsor) or a third
party.

Real Estate Investment
Any real property bought with the intention to
accumulate wealth or to gain a profit – the
buyer’s intention for use of property rather
than the actual nature of the property.
 Single-family home as investment real estate

 Ownership is usually individual or corporate.
 The property is usually owner-occupied.
 The value is usually based on market and
replacement costs (including land).

Investment Properties Characteristics








The amount of financing based on the ability of the
investment to produce income as well as owner’s
credit worthiness.
Generally, the market is local except very large
investments where market is national/ international.
Ownership rights are either fee simple (freehold) or
leasehold and can be held individually, corporately,
or through joint-venture or syndications.
The property usually leased to third-party tenants.
The value is based on investment value. The return
is anticipated from operations and/or eventual sale.

Areas of Consideration
Return is usually commensurate with risk.
 Potential Income Stream can affect the
investor’s perception of risk, according to the
following 3 characteristics of income:


• Quantity of the net income (how much?)
• Quality of the income (how good?)
• Certainty of the net income (how long?)

Appreciation of both land and buildings.
 Liquidity (readily convertible to cash) – Real
Estate has limitations but has partial liquidity
as owner can obtain a loan on property.

the life of the investment.

Leverage (use of borrowed funds to finance
a portion of the cost).
 Taxation (how the investment income is
affected by all forms of taxation).

investment through operations, a retirement
of debt (mortgage), and positive financing
leverage.

Investment Disadvantages
There is risk – always a possibility of a
downturn in income and value.
 Limited liquidity – real estate may not be
liquid because it can’t be disposed of quickly.
Stocks are liquid.
 Requires personal involvement – real estate
ownership requires more personal attention
and involvement partly because one can
have more control. Don’t forget about
property management for cost.

with the following:








Smaller initial cash investment
Largest periodic cash flows
Largest proceeds from disposition
Earliest cash flow
Safest cash flow.

Primary motivation is to obtain the future
cash flows the investments produce – “more
is better than less”.

buyers in selling and supporting value
and presents owner’s cash flow (before
taxes) with existing/alternative financing.
 You need to know what each line is used
for and how it is used.

Investment Measures
Value is directly related to use. Market
Value, Assessed Value, Reproduction Cost,
and Value in Use - ways to determine value.
 Time is money. Agent must be able to
adequately forecast revenue and expenses
(income streams).
 Present day value can be put on a future
benefit.
 If you know income stream and desired
return, through methods of discounting and
compounding, you can arrive at a present
day value on an investment.

Discounting/Compounding
Money has a ‘time value’.
 Compounding is the amount a dollar will
grow over a given number of periods at a
given rate of interest, if the total investment
including interest is left in the investment.
 Discounting (reverse of compounding) is
computing the value of a dollar to be
received in the future at a given discount
rate.
 Not having money at hand is opportunity
cost.

Financing Investments


Financing of real estate investments is
generally based on the ability of the property
to generate sufficient income to repay funds.
Several variable items are significant:
• Rate of interest on the loan.
• Ratio of the loan amount to the value of the property.
• Term of the loan or the period over which the loan is
made and the method of amortization of the loan.
• Ratio of annual debt service to net operating income
or the coverage factor.



The higher the interest rate, the lower the
ratio of the loan amount to the value of the
property – safety of investment decreases.

Principles of Leveraging
Positive leverage – borrowing at interest rate
below the overall rate of return.
 Neutral leverage – borrowing at interest rate
equal to the overall rate of return.
 Negative leverage – borrowing at interest
rate higher than the overall rate of return.
 Loan-to-Value Ratio = Loan Amount /
Property Value.
 Annual Debt Service (ADS) – total principal
and interest payments for year.
 Debt Coverage Ratio (DCR) = NOI / ADS
(DCR >1 if NOI is > than ADS)

Investment Disadvantages
There is risk – always a possibility of a
downturn in income and value.
 Limited liquidity – real estate may not be
liquid because it can’t be disposed of quickly.
Stocks are liquid.
 Requires personal involvement – real estate
ownership requires more personal attention
and involvement partly because one can
have more control. Don’t forget about
property management for cost.

Elements of Investment
Real Estate Investment - package
comprising land, buildings, equipment,
financing/yield & sometimes management.
 Land (valued by highest and best use)
determined by location and zoning or land
use designation.
 Buildings (main producers of income) have a
limited life.
 Equipment usually has a shorter life.
 Financing - value by itself can make or break
a deal (low downpayment = higher price).

Investors’ Behaviour


Prudent investor will prefer the investment
with the following:








Smaller initial cash investment
Largest periodic cash flows
Largest proceeds from disposition
Earliest cash flow
Safest cash flow.

Primary motivation is to obtain the future
cash flows the investments produce – “more
is better than less”.

 Time is money. Agent must be able to
adequately forecast revenue and expenses
(income streams).

Financing Investments


Financing of real estate investments is
generally based on the ability of the property
to generate sufficient income to repay funds.
Several variable items are significant:
• Rate of interest on the loan.
• Ratio of the loan amount to the value of the property.
• Term of the loan or the period over which the loan is
made and the method of amortization of the loan.
• Ratio of annual debt service to net operating income
or the coverage factor.



The higher the interest rate, the lower the
ratio of the loan amount to the value of the
property – safety of investment decreases.

Principles of Leveraging
Positive leverage – borrowing at interest rate
below the overall rate of return.
 Neutral leverage – borrowing at interest rate
equal to the overall rate of return.
 Negative leverage – borrowing at interest
rate higher than the overall rate of return.
 Loan-to-Value Ratio = Loan Amount /
Property Value.
 Annual Debt Service (ADS) – total principal
and interest payments for year.

Critical test in any real estate transaction is
the manner in which the property is
marketed. Is the property alone offered, or it
is offered with management or in an entity
arrangement sufficient to constitute an
investment contract?
Securities law will apply every time the 3
elements of an investment contract exist.
They are:

Investment Contract




Critical test in any real estate transaction is
the manner in which the property is
marketed. Is the property alone offered, or it
is offered with management or in an entity
arrangement sufficient to constitute an
investment contract?
Securities law will apply every time the 3
elements of an investment contract exist.
They are:

1. Investment in a common enterprise.
2. Profit motive; and
3. Expectations that the profit would derive from
the efforts of the seller (sponsor) or a third
party.

Investment Properties Characteristics








The amount of financing based on the ability of the
investment to produce income as well as owner’s
credit worthiness.
Generally, the market is local except very large
investments where market is national/ international.
Ownership rights are either fee simple (freehold) or
leasehold and can be held individually, corporately,
or through joint-venture or syndications.
The property usually leased to third-party tenants.
The value is based on investment value. The return
is anticipated from operations and/or eventual sale.

Areas of Consideration
Return is usually commensurate with risk.
 Potential Income Stream can affect the
investor’s perception of risk, according to the
following 3 characteristics of income:


• Quantity of the net income (how much?)
• Quality of the income (how good?)
• Certainty of the net income (how long?)

Appreciation of both land and buildings.
 Liquidity (readily convertible to cash) – Real
Estate has limitations but has partial liquidity
as owner can obtain a loan on property.

ownership requires more personal attention
and involvement partly because one can
have more control. Don’t forget about
property management for cost.

Safest cash flow.

Primary motivation is to obtain the future
cash flows the investments produce – “more
is better than less”.

buyers in selling and supporting value
and presents owner’s cash flow (before
taxes) with existing/alternative financing.
 You need to know what each line is used
for and how it is used.

Investment Measures
Value is directly related to use. Market
Value, Assessed Value, Reproduction Cost,
and Value in Use - ways to determine value.
 Time is money. Agent must be able to
adequately forecast revenue and expenses
(income streams).
 Present day value can be put on a future
benefit.
 If you know income stream and desired
return, through methods of discounting and
compounding, you can arrive at a present
day value on an investment.

Discounting/Compounding
Money has a ‘time value’.
 Compounding is the amount a dollar will
grow over a given number of periods at a
given rate of interest, if the total investment
including interest is left in the investment.
 Discounting (reverse of compounding) is
computing the value of a dollar to be
received in the future at a given discount
rate.
 Not having money at hand is opportunity
cost.

Financing Investments


Financing of real estate investments is
generally based on the ability of the property
to generate sufficient income to repay funds.
Several variable items are significant:
• Rate of interest on the loan.
• Ratio of the loan amount to the value of the property.
• Term of the loan or the period over which the loan is
made and the method of amortization of the loan.
• Ratio of annual debt service to net operating income
or the coverage factor.



The higher the interest rate, the lower the
ratio of the loan amount to the value of the
property – safety of investment decreases.

Principles of Leveraging
Positive leverage – borrowing at interest rate
below the overall rate of return.
 Neutral leverage – borrowing at interest rate
equal to the overall rate of return.
 Negative leverage – borrowing at interest
rate higher than the overall rate of return.
 Loan-to-Value Ratio = Loan Amount /
Property Value.
 Annual Debt Service (ADS) – total principal
and interest payments for year.
 Debt Coverage Ratio (DCR) = NOI / ADS
(DCR >1 if NOI is > than ADS)

reported in a Final Report.
 Phase III is remedial action plan which may
include Repair, Isolation, Encapsulation,
Enclosure, Removal & Disposal, hopefully

known to be/was contaminated. Stigma is
intangible but decreases value of property
because of the fear of future hazards.

Cash Flow Analysis
Annual Property Operating Data Form
(APOD) provides a marketing tool
describing income and financial data to
develop an operating statement and to
determine cash flow before taxes.
 It is standardized and communicates with
buyers in selling and supporting value
and presents owner’s cash flow (before
taxes) with existing/alternative financing.
 You need to know what each line is used
for and how it is used.

and Value in Use - ways to determine value.
 Time is money. Agent must be able to
adequately forecast revenue and expenses
(income streams).
 Present day value can be put on a future
benefit.
 If you know income stream and desired
return, through methods of discounting and
compounding, you can arrive at a present
day value on an investment.

Discounting/Compounding
Money has a ‘time value’.
 Compounding is the amount a dollar will
grow over a given number of periods at a
given rate of interest, if the total investment
including interest is left in the investment.
 Discounting (reverse of compounding) is
computing the value of a dollar to be
received in the future at a given discount
rate.

Financing Investments


Financing of real estate investments is
generally based on the ability of the property
to generate sufficient income to repay funds.
Several variable items are significant:
• Rate of interest on the loan.
• Ratio of the loan amount to the value of the property.
• Term of the loan or the period over which the loan is
made and the method of amortization of the loan.
• Ratio of annual debt service to net operating income
or the coverage factor.



The higher the interest rate, the lower the
ratio of the loan amount to the value of the
property – safety of investment decreases.

Principles of Leveraging
Positive leverage – borrowing at interest rate
below the overall rate of return.
 Neutral leverage – borrowing at interest rate
equal to the overall rate of return.
 Negative leverage – borrowing at interest
rate higher than the overall rate of return.
 Loan-to-Value Ratio = Loan Amount /
Property Value.
 Annual Debt Service (ADS) – total principal
and interest payments for year.

Investment Contract




Critical test in any real estate transaction is
the manner in which the property is
marketed. Is the property alone offered, or it
is offered with management or in an entity
arrangement sufficient to constitute an
investment contract?
Securities law will apply every time the 3
elements of an investment contract exist.
They are:

1. Investment in a common enterprise.
2. Profit motive; and
3. Expectations that the profit would derive from
the efforts of the seller (sponsor) or a third

period of time.
 Variable Return Investment means rate of
return varies according to the performance of
the investment.
 Remember, real estate generally is a variable
return investment.

investment to produce income as well as owner’s
credit worthiness.
Generally, the market is local except very large
investments where market is national/ international.
Ownership rights are either fee simple (freehold) or
leasehold and can be held individually, corporately,
or through joint-venture or syndications.
The property usually leased to third-party tenants.
The value is based on investment value. The return
is anticipated from operations and/or eventual sale.

Areas of Consideration
Return is usually commensurate with risk.
 Potential Income Stream can affect the
investor’s perception of risk, according to the
following 3 characteristics of income:


• Quantity of the net income (how much?)
• Quality of the income (how good?)
• Certainty of the net income (how long?)

Appreciation of both land and buildings.
 Liquidity (readily convertible to cash) – Real
Estate has limitations but has partial liquidity
as owner can obtain a loan on property.

Investment Disadvantages
There is risk – always a possibility of a
downturn in income and value.
 Limited liquidity – real estate may not be
liquid because it can’t be disposed of quickly.
Stocks are liquid.
 Requires personal involvement – real estate
ownership requires more personal attention
and involvement partly because one can
have more control. Don’t forget about
property management for cost.

Critical test in any real estate transaction is
the manner in which the property is
marketed. Is the property alone offered, or it
is offered with management or in an entity
arrangement sufficient to constitute an
investment contract?
Securities law will apply every time the 3
elements of an investment contract exist.
They are:

1. Investment in a common enterprise.
2. Profit motive; and
3. Expectations that the profit would derive from
the efforts of the seller (sponsor) or a third
party.

Scope – Continued …
Investment – Investor is essentially buying
an income. Sales cover the sale of incomeproducing projects to investors looking for 3
things: a good rate of return on capital
investment, security of that rate of return and
potential for investment to grow in value.
Users simply look for property to house
business and concerned with location.
 Land Sales – Industrial Land Sales,
Commercial Land Sales, Sale of Residential
Subdivision Land to Developers or Builders
and Design Build.

Investment
Purchase of a property with the expectation
of future profit to maximize wealth. Obtain
the highest return (income plus capital
appreciation) over an extended period of
time.
 Influencing factors include (RALMY) Risk,
Appreciation (inflation/deflation), Liquidity,
(Marketability), Management, Yield.

Fixed Return vs. Variable Return
Fixed Return Investment means rate of
return is established at the beginning of the
investment and is committed for a specific
period of time.
 Variable Return Investment means rate of
return varies according to the performance of
the investment.
 Remember, real estate generally is a variable
return investment.
 “How much additional risk is acceptable for a
1% increase in the expected rate of return?”

Real Estate Investment
Any real property bought with the intention to
accumulate wealth or to gain a profit – the
buyer’s intention for use of property rather
than the actual nature of the property.
 Single-family home as investment real estate
is purchased with the intention of buying,
holding and renting it for investment
purposes and hoping it will increase in value.
 Investors concerned primarily with a return of
(and on) their investment through cash flow
from operations and sale proceeds.

Amenity Properties Characteristics
Amount of financing is based on the ability of
the owner to generate income.
 The market is primarily local.
 Ownership is usually individual or corporate.
 The property is usually owner-occupied.
 The value is usually based on market and
replacement costs (including land).

Investment Properties Characteristics








The amount of financing based on the ability of the
investment to produce income as well as owner’s
credit worthiness.
Generally, the market is local except very large
investments where market is national/ international.
Ownership rights are either fee simple (freehold) or
leasehold and can be held individually, corporately,
or through joint-venture or syndications.
The property usually leased to third-party tenants.
The value is based on investment value. The return
is anticipated from operations and/or eventual sale.

Areas of Consideration
Return is usually commensurate with risk.
 Potential Income Stream can affect the
investor’s perception of risk, according to the
following 3 characteristics of income:


• Quantity of the net income (how much?)
• Quality of the income (how good?)
• Certainty of the net income (how long?)

Appreciation of both land and buildings.
 Liquidity (readily convertible to cash) – Real
Estate has limitations but has partial liquidity
as owner can obtain a loan on property.

the life of the investment.

Leverage (use of borrowed funds to finance
a portion of the cost).
 Taxation (how the investment income is
affected by all forms of taxation).

obtain new tenants, etc.
 Potential tax advantage.
 Better than average after-tax retun on
investment through operations, a retirement
of debt (mortgage), and positive financing
leverage.

 Limited liquidity – real estate may not be
liquid because it can’t be disposed of quickly.
Stocks are liquid.
 Requires personal involvement – real estate
ownership requires more personal attention
and involvement partly because one can
have more control. Don’t forget about
property management for cost.

Financing Investments


Financing of real estate investments is
generally based on the ability of the property
to generate sufficient income to repay funds.
Several variable items are significant:
• Rate of interest on the loan.
• Ratio of the loan amount to the value of the property.
• Term of the loan or the period over which the loan is
made and the method of amortization of the loan.
• Ratio of annual debt service to net operating income
or the coverage factor.



The higher the interest rate, the lower the
ratio of the loan amount to the value of the
property – safety of investment decreases.

Principles of Leveraging
Positive leverage – borrowing at interest rate
below the overall rate of return.
 Neutral leverage – borrowing at interest rate
equal to the overall rate of return.
 Negative leverage – borrowing at interest
rate higher than the overall rate of return.
 Loan-to-Value Ratio = Loan Amount /
Property Value.
 Annual Debt Service (ADS) – total principal
and interest payments for year.
 Debt Coverage Ratio (DCR) = NOI / ADS
(DCR >1 if NOI is > than ADS)

Financing Investments


Financing of real estate investments is
generally based on the ability of the property
to generate sufficient income to repay funds.
Several variable items are significant:
• Rate of interest on the loan.
• Ratio of the loan amount to the value of the property.
• Term of the loan or the period over which the loan is
made and the method of amortization of the loan.
• Ratio of annual debt service to net operating income
or the coverage factor.



The higher the interest rate, the lower the
ratio of the loan amount to the value of the
property – safety of investment decreases.

Principles of Leveraging
Positive leverage – borrowing at interest rate
below the overall rate of return.
 Neutral leverage – borrowing at interest rate
equal to the overall rate of return.
 Negative leverage – borrowing at interest
rate higher than the overall rate of return.
 Loan-to-Value Ratio = Loan Amount /
Property Value.
 Annual Debt Service (ADS) – total principal
and interest payments for year.
 Debt Coverage Ratio (DCR) = NOI / ADS
(DCR >1 if NOI is > than ADS)

Investment Contract




Critical test in any real estate transaction is
the manner in which the property is
marketed. Is the property alone offered, or it
is offered with management or in an entity
arrangement sufficient to constitute an
investment contract?
Securities law will apply every time the 3
elements of an investment contract exist.
They are:

1. Investment in a common enterprise.
2. Profit motive; and
3. Expectations that the profit would derive from
the efforts of the seller (sponsor) or a third
party.

investment to produce income as well as owner’s
credit worthiness.
Generally, the market is local except very large
investments where market is national/ international.
Ownership rights are either fee simple (freehold) or
leasehold and can be held individually, corporately,
or through joint-venture or syndications.
The property usually leased to third-party tenants.
The value is based on investment value. The return
is anticipated from operations and/or eventual sale.

Areas of Consideration
Return is usually commensurate with risk.
 Potential Income Stream can affect the
investor’s perception of risk, according to the
following 3 characteristics of income:


• Quantity of the net income (how much?)
• Quality of the income (how good?)
• Certainty of the net income (how long?)

Appreciation of both land and buildings.
 Liquidity (readily convertible to cash) – Real
Estate has limitations but has partial liquidity
as owner can obtain a loan on property.

Investment Disadvantages
There is risk – always a possibility of a
downturn in income and value.
 Limited liquidity – real estate may not be
liquid because it can’t be disposed of quickly.
Stocks are liquid.
 Requires personal involvement – real estate
ownership requires more personal attention
and involvement partly because one can
have more control. Don’t forget about
property management for cost.

Investment Properties Characteristics








The amount of financing based on the ability of the
investment to produce income as well as owner’s
credit worthiness.
Generally, the market is local except very large
investments where market is national/ international.
Ownership rights are either fee simple (freehold) or
leasehold and can be held individually, corporately,
or through joint-venture or syndications.
The property usually leased to third-party tenants.
The value is based on investment value. The return
is anticipated from operations and/or eventual sale.

Areas of Consideration
Return is usually commensurate with risk.
 Potential Income Stream can affect the
investor’s perception of risk, according to the
following 3 characteristics of income:


• Quantity of the net income (how much?)
• Quality of the income (how good?)
• Certainty of the net income (how long?)

Appreciation of both land and buildings.
 Liquidity (readily convertible to cash) – Real
Estate has limitations but has partial liquidity
as owner can obtain a loan on property.

Consideration Areas, Continued …
Management involvement – degree can be
controlled by nature of the investment.
 Yield (result of the investment) varies.


• Return OF is the return of the amount of money
invested over the life of the investment.
• Return ON is a return for the use of that capital over
the life of the investment.

Leverage (use of borrowed funds to finance
a portion of the cost).
 Taxation (how the investment income is
affected by all forms of taxation).

Investment Advantages
High degree of personal control. One ccan
sell, redevelop, refinance, effect changes,
obtain new tenants, etc.
 Potential tax advantage.
 Better than average after-tax retun on
investment through operations, a retirement
of debt (mortgage), and positive financing
leverage.
 Potential to increase the property value
through change of use or physical upgrading.

Investment Disadvantages
There is risk – always a possibility of a
downturn in income and value.
 Limited liquidity – real estate may not be
liquid because it can’t be disposed of quickly.
Stocks are liquid.
 Requires personal involvement – real estate
ownership requires more personal attention
and involvement partly because one can
have more control. Don’t forget about
property management for cost.

determined by location and zoning or land
use designation.
 Buildings (main producers of income) have a
limited life.
 Equipment usually has a shorter life.
 Financing - value by itself can make or break
a deal (low downpayment = higher price).

Investors’ Behaviour


Prudent investor will prefer the investment
with the following:








Smaller initial cash investment
Largest periodic cash flows
Largest proceeds from disposition
Earliest cash flow
Safest cash flow.

Primary motivation is to obtain the future
cash flows the investments produce – “more
is better than less”.

and Value in Use - ways to determine value.
 Time is money. Agent must be able to
adequately forecast revenue and expenses
(income streams).

return, through methods of discounting and
compounding, you can arrive at a present
day value on an investment.

grow over a given number of periods at a
given rate of interest, if the total investment
including interest is left in the investment.
 Discounting (reverse of compounding) is
computing the value of a dollar to be
received in the future at a given discount
rate.

Financing Investments


Financing of real estate investments is
generally based on the ability of the property
to generate sufficient income to repay funds.
Several variable items are significant:
• Rate of interest on the loan.
• Ratio of the loan amount to the value of the property.
• Term of the loan or the period over which the loan is
made and the method of amortization of the loan.
• Ratio of annual debt service to net operating income
or the coverage factor.



The higher the interest rate, the lower the
ratio of the loan amount to the value of the
property – safety of investment decreases.

Principles of Leveraging
Positive leverage – borrowing at interest rate
below the overall rate of return.
 Neutral leverage – borrowing at interest rate
equal to the overall rate of return.
 Negative leverage – borrowing at interest
rate higher than the overall rate of return.
 Loan-to-Value Ratio = Loan Amount /
Property Value.
 Annual Debt Service (ADS) – total principal
and interest payments for year.
 Debt Coverage Ratio (DCR) = NOI / ADS
(DCR >1 if NOI is > than ADS)

 Sampling and/or Testing required in Phase II
may include Sampling Plan, Analytical Plan
and Health and Safety Plan and then
reported in a Final Report.
 Phase III is remedial action plan which may
include Repair, Isolation, Encapsulation,
Enclosure, Removal & Disposal, hopefully
limiting a problem of Stigma – marketimposed penalty which affects property
known to be/was contaminated. Stigma is
intangible but decreases value of property
because of the fear of future hazards.

Leasing
The field of leasing open to the commercial
industry is literally unlimited.
 The only alternative to leasing is ownership.
 3 Basic types are retail, industrial and office.
 Lease is a contract between the lessor and
lessee for a term.
 Tenants receive the use and possession of
the premises for which they pay rent to the
landlord.

Types of Leases
Net Lease (net net lease or triple net lease)
requires tenant to pay all ancillary expenses
except structural repairs, landlord’s income
taxes and the landlord’s debt servicing costs.
 Gross Lease requires tenant to pay allinclusive amount to the landlord.
 Semi-Gross Lease requires landlord to
assume specified portion of operating costs.
 Percentage Rent Lease is a form of rental
directly related to the tenant’s sales.

Investment Contract




Critical test in any real estate transaction is
the manner in which the property is
marketed. Is the property alone offered, or it
is offered with management or in an entity
arrangement sufficient to constitute an
investment contract?
Securities law will apply every time the 3
elements of an investment contract exist.
They are:

1. Investment in a common enterprise.
2. Profit motive; and
3. Expectations that the profit would derive from
the efforts of the seller (sponsor) or a third
party.

period of time.
 Variable Return Investment means rate of
return varies according to the performance of
the investment.
 Remember, real estate generally is a variable
return investment.

Real Estate Investment
Any real property bought with the intention to
accumulate wealth or to gain a profit – the
buyer’s intention for use of property rather
than the actual nature of the property.
 Single-family home as investment real estate
is purchased with the intention of buying,
holding and renting it for investment
purposes and hoping it will increase in value.

 Ownership is usually individual or corporate.
 The property is usually owner-occupied.
 The value is usually based on market and
replacement costs (including land).

Investment Properties Characteristics








The amount of financing based on the ability of the
investment to produce income as well as owner’s
credit worthiness.
Generally, the market is local except very large
investments where market is national/ international.
Ownership rights are either fee simple (freehold) or
leasehold and can be held individually, corporately,
or through joint-venture or syndications.
The property usually leased to third-party tenants.
The value is based on investment value. The return
is anticipated from operations and/or eventual sale.

Areas of Consideration
Return is usually commensurate with risk.
 Potential Income Stream can affect the
investor’s perception of risk, according to the
following 3 characteristics of income:


• Quantity of the net income (how much?)
• Quality of the income (how good?)
• Certainty of the net income (how long?)

Appreciation of both land and buildings.
 Liquidity (readily convertible to cash) – Real
Estate has limitations but has partial liquidity
as owner can obtain a loan on property.

the life of the investment.

Leverage (use of borrowed funds to finance
a portion of the cost).
 Taxation (how the investment income is
affected by all forms of taxation).

Investment Disadvantages
There is risk – always a possibility of a
downturn in income and value.
 Limited liquidity – real estate may not be
liquid because it can’t be disposed of quickly.
Stocks are liquid.
 Requires personal involvement – real estate
ownership requires more personal attention
and involvement partly because one can
have more control. Don’t forget about
property management for cost.

Prudent investor will prefer the investment
with the following:








Smaller initial cash investment
Largest periodic cash flows
Largest proceeds from disposition
Earliest cash flow
Safest cash flow.

Primary motivation is to obtain the future
cash flows the investments produce – “more
is better than less”.

buyers in selling and supporting value
and presents owner’s cash flow (before
taxes) with existing/alternative financing.
 You need to know what each line is used
for and how it is used.

Investment Measures
Value is directly related to use. Market
Value, Assessed Value, Reproduction Cost,
and Value in Use - ways to determine value.
 Time is money. Agent must be able to
adequately forecast revenue and expenses
(income streams).
 Present day value can be put on a future
benefit.
 If you know income stream and desired
return, through methods of discounting and
compounding, you can arrive at a present
day value on an investment.

Discounting/Compounding
Money has a ‘time value’.
 Compounding is the amount a dollar will
grow over a given number of periods at a
given rate of interest, if the total investment
including interest is left in the investment.
 Discounting (reverse of compounding) is
computing the value of a dollar to be
received in the future at a given discount
rate.
 Not having money at hand is opportunity
cost.

Financing Investments


Financing of real estate investments is
generally based on the ability of the property
to generate sufficient income to repay funds.
Several variable items are significant:
• Rate of interest on the loan.
• Ratio of the loan amount to the value of the property.
• Term of the loan or the period over which the loan is
made and the method of amortization of the loan.
• Ratio of annual debt service to net operating income
or the coverage factor.



The higher the interest rate, the lower the
ratio of the loan amount to the value of the
property – safety of investment decreases.

Principles of Leveraging
Positive leverage – borrowing at interest rate
below the overall rate of return.
 Neutral leverage – borrowing at interest rate
equal to the overall rate of return.
 Negative leverage – borrowing at interest
rate higher than the overall rate of return.
 Loan-to-Value Ratio = Loan Amount /
Property Value.
 Annual Debt Service (ADS) – total principal
and interest payments for year.
 Debt Coverage Ratio (DCR) = NOI / ADS
(DCR >1 if NOI is > than ADS)

Investors’ Behaviour


Prudent investor will prefer the investment
with the following:








Smaller initial cash investment
Largest periodic cash flows
Largest proceeds from disposition
Earliest cash flow
Safest cash flow.

Primary motivation is to obtain the future
cash flows the investments produce – “more
is better than less”.

and Value in Use - ways to determine value.
 Time is money. Agent must be able to
adequately forecast revenue and expenses
(income streams).
 Present day value can be put on a future
benefit.

Financing Investments


Financing of real estate investments is
generally based on the ability of the property
to generate sufficient income to repay funds.
Several variable items are significant:
• Rate of interest on the loan.
• Ratio of the loan amount to the value of the property.
• Term of the loan or the period over which the loan is
made and the method of amortization of the loan.
• Ratio of annual debt service to net operating income
or the coverage factor.



The higher the interest rate, the lower the
ratio of the loan amount to the value of the
property – safety of investment decreases.

Principles of Leveraging
Positive leverage – borrowing at interest rate
below the overall rate of return.
 Neutral leverage – borrowing at interest rate
equal to the overall rate of return.
 Negative leverage – borrowing at interest
rate higher than the overall rate of return.
 Loan-to-Value Ratio = Loan Amount /
Property Value.
 Annual Debt Service (ADS) – total principal
and interest payments for year.
 Debt Coverage Ratio (DCR) = NOI / ADS
(DCR >1 if NOI is > than ADS)

Investment Contract




Critical test in any real estate transaction is
the manner in which the property is
marketed. Is the property alone offered, or it
is offered with management or in an entity
arrangement sufficient to constitute an
investment contract?
Securities law will apply every time the 3
elements of an investment contract exist.
They are:

1. Investment in a common enterprise.
2. Profit motive; and
3. Expectations that the profit would derive from
the efforts of the seller (sponsor) or a third
party.

period of time.
 Variable Return Investment means rate of
return varies according to the performance of
the investment.
 Remember, real estate generally is a variable
return investment.

investment to produce income as well as owner’s
credit worthiness.
Generally, the market is local except very large
investments where market is national/ international.
Ownership rights are either fee simple (freehold) or
leasehold and can be held individually, corporately,
or through joint-venture or syndications.
The property usually leased to third-party tenants.
The value is based on investment value. The return
is anticipated from operations and/or eventual sale.

investor’s perception of risk, according to the
following 3 characteristics of income:


• Quantity of the net income (how much?)
• Quality of the income (how good?)
• Certainty of the net income (how long?)

Appreciation of both land and buildings.

downturn in income and value.
 Limited liquidity – real estate may not be
liquid because it can’t be disposed of quickly.
Stocks are liquid.

ownership requires more personal attention
and involvement partly because one can
have more control. Don’t forget about
property management for cost.

Investment Contract




Critical test in any real estate transaction is
the manner in which the property is
marketed. Is the property alone offered, or it
is offered with management or in an entity
arrangement sufficient to constitute an
investment contract?
Securities law will apply every time the 3
elements of an investment contract exist.
They are:

1. Investment in a common enterprise.
2. Profit motive; and
3. Expectations that the profit would derive from
the efforts of the seller (sponsor) or a third
party.

Fixed Return vs. Variable Return
Fixed Return Investment means rate of
return is established at the beginning of the
investment and is committed for a specific
period of time.
 Variable Return Investment means rate of
return varies according to the performance of
the investment.
 Remember, real estate generally is a variable
return investment.

Real Estate Investment
Any real property bought with the intention to
accumulate wealth or to gain a profit – the
buyer’s intention for use of property rather
than the actual nature of the property.
 Single-family home as investment real estate
is purchased with the intention of buying,
holding and renting it for investment
purposes and hoping it will increase in value.

the owner to generate income.
 The market is primarily local.
 Ownership is usually individual or corporate.
 The property is usually owner-occupied.
 The value is usually based on market and
replacement costs (including land).

Investment Properties Characteristics








The amount of financing based on the ability of the
investment to produce income as well as owner’s
credit worthiness.
Generally, the market is local except very large
investments where market is national/ international.
Ownership rights are either fee simple (freehold) or
leasehold and can be held individually, corporately,
or through joint-venture or syndications.
The property usually leased to third-party tenants.
The value is based on investment value. The return
is anticipated from operations and/or eventual sale.

Areas of Consideration
Return is usually commensurate with risk.
 Potential Income Stream can affect the
investor’s perception of risk, according to the
following 3 characteristics of income:


• Quantity of the net income (how much?)
• Quality of the income (how good?)
• Certainty of the net income (how long?)

Appreciation of both land and buildings.
 Liquidity (readily convertible to cash) – Real
Estate has limitations but has partial liquidity
as owner can obtain a loan on property.

the life of the investment.

Leverage (use of borrowed funds to finance
a portion of the cost).
 Taxation (how the investment income is
affected by all forms of taxation).

downturn in income and value.
 Limited liquidity – real estate may not be
liquid because it can’t be disposed of quickly.
Stocks are liquid.
 Requires personal involvement – real estate
ownership requires more personal attention
and involvement partly because one can
have more control. Don’t forget about
property management for cost.

with the following:








Smaller initial cash investment
Largest periodic cash flows
Largest proceeds from disposition
Earliest cash flow
Safest cash flow.

Primary motivation is to obtain the future
cash flows the investments produce – “more
is better than less”.

Investment Measures
Value is directly related to use. Market
Value, Assessed Value, Reproduction Cost,
and Value in Use - ways to determine value.
 Time is money. Agent must be able to
adequately forecast revenue and expenses
(income streams).
 Present day value can be put on a future
benefit.
 If you know income stream and desired
return, through methods of discounting and
compounding, you can arrive at a present
day value on an investment.

Discounting/Compounding
Money has a ‘time value’.
 Compounding is the amount a dollar will
grow over a given number of periods at a
given rate of interest, if the total investment
including interest is left in the investment.
 Discounting (reverse of compounding) is
computing the value of a dollar to be
received in the future at a given discount
rate.
 Not having money at hand is opportunity
cost.

Financing Investments


Financing of real estate investments is
generally based on the ability of the property
to generate sufficient income to repay funds.
Several variable items are significant:
• Rate of interest on the loan.
• Ratio of the loan amount to the value of the property.
• Term of the loan or the period over which the loan is
made and the method of amortization of the loan.
• Ratio of annual debt service to net operating income
or the coverage factor.



The higher the interest rate, the lower the
ratio of the loan amount to the value of the
property – safety of investment decreases.

Principles of Leveraging
Positive leverage – borrowing at interest rate
below the overall rate of return.
 Neutral leverage – borrowing at interest rate
equal to the overall rate of return.
 Negative leverage – borrowing at interest
rate higher than the overall rate of return.
 Loan-to-Value Ratio = Loan Amount /
Property Value.
 Annual Debt Service (ADS) – total principal
and interest payments for year.
 Debt Coverage Ratio (DCR) = NOI / ADS
(DCR >1 if NOI is > than ADS)

reported in a Final Report.
 Phase III is remedial action plan which may
include Repair, Isolation, Encapsulation,
Enclosure, Removal & Disposal, hopefully
limiting a problem of Stigma – marketimposed penalty which affects property
known to be/was contaminated. Stigma is
intangible but decreases value of property
because of the fear of future hazards.

Investment Measures
Value is directly related to use. Market
Value, Assessed Value, Reproduction Cost,
and Value in Use - ways to determine value.
 Time is money. Agent must be able to
adequately forecast revenue and expenses
(income streams).
 Present day value can be put on a future
benefit.
 If you know income stream and desired
return, through methods of discounting and
compounding, you can arrive at a present
day value on an investment.

Discounting/Compounding
Money has a ‘time value’.
 Compounding is the amount a dollar will
grow over a given number of periods at a
given rate of interest, if the total investment
including interest is left in the investment.
 Discounting (reverse of compounding) is
computing the value of a dollar to be
received in the future at a given discount
rate.
 Not having money at hand is opportunity

Financing Investments


Financing of real estate investments is
generally based on the ability of the property
to generate sufficient income to repay funds.
Several variable items are significant:
• Rate of interest on the loan.
• Ratio of the loan amount to the value of the property.
• Term of the loan or the period over which the loan is
made and the method of amortization of the loan.
• Ratio of annual debt service to net operating income
or the coverage factor.



The higher the interest rate, the lower the
ratio of the loan amount to the value of the
property – safety of investment decreases.

Principles of Leveraging
Positive leverage – borrowing at interest rate
below the overall rate of return.
 Neutral leverage – borrowing at interest rate
equal to the overall rate of return.
 Negative leverage – borrowing at interest
rate higher than the overall rate of return.
 Loan-to-Value Ratio = Loan Amount /
Property Value.
 Annual Debt Service (ADS) – total principal
and interest payments for year.
 Debt Coverage Ratio (DCR) = NOI / ADS
(DCR >1 if NOI is > than ADS)

Investment Contract




Critical test in any real estate transaction is
the manner in which the property is
marketed. Is the property alone offered, or it
is offered with management or in an entity
arrangement sufficient to constitute an
investment contract?
Securities law will apply every time the 3
elements of an investment contract exist.
They are:

1. Investment in a common enterprise.
2. Profit motive; and
3. Expectations that the profit would derive from
the efforts of the seller (sponsor) or a third
party.

Investment Properties Characteristics








The amount of financing based on the ability of the
investment to produce income as well as owner’s
credit worthiness.
Generally, the market is local except very large
investments where market is national/ international.
Ownership rights are either fee simple (freehold) or
leasehold and can be held individually, corporately,
or through joint-venture or syndications.
The property usually leased to third-party tenants.
The value is based on investment value. The return
is anticipated from operations and/or eventual sale.

Areas of Consideration
Return is usually commensurate with risk.
 Potential Income Stream can affect the
investor’s perception of risk, according to the
following 3 characteristics of income:


• Quantity of the net income (how much?)
• Quality of the income (how good?)
• Certainty of the net income (how long?)

Appreciation of both land and buildings.
 Liquidity (readily convertible to cash) – Real
Estate has limitations but has partial liquidity
as owner can obtain a loan on property.

Investment Disadvantages
There is risk – always a possibility of a
downturn in income and value.
 Limited liquidity – real estate may not be
liquid because it can’t be disposed of quickly.
Stocks are liquid.
 Requires personal involvement – real estate
ownership requires more personal attention
and involvement partly because one can
have more control. Don’t forget about
property management for cost.

Investment
Purchase of a property with the expectation
of future profit to maximize wealth. Obtain
the highest return (income plus capital
appreciation) over an extended period of
time.
 Influencing factors include (RALMY) Risk,
Appreciation (inflation/deflation), Liquidity,

Fixed Return vs. Variable Return
Fixed Return Investment means rate of
return is established at the beginning of the
investment and is committed for a specific
period of time.
 Variable Return Investment means rate of
return varies according to the performance of
the investment.
 Remember, real estate generally is a variable
return investment.
 “How much additional risk is acceptable for a
1% increase in the expected rate of return?”

Real Estate Investment
Any real property bought with the intention to
accumulate wealth or to gain a profit – the
buyer’s intention for use of property rather
than the actual nature of the property.
 Single-family home as investment real estate
is purchased with the intention of buying,
holding and renting it for investment
purposes and hoping it will increase in value.
 Investors concerned primarily with a return of
(and on) their investment through cash flow
from operations and sale proceeds.

Amenity Properties Characteristics
Amount of financing is based on the ability of
the owner to generate income.
 The market is primarily local.
 Ownership is usually individual or corporate.
 The property is usually owner-occupied.

Investment Properties Characteristics








The amount of financing based on the ability of the
investment to produce income as well as owner’s
credit worthiness.
Generally, the market is local except very large
investments where market is national/ international.
Ownership rights are either fee simple (freehold) or
leasehold and can be held individually, corporately,
or through joint-venture or syndications.
The property usually leased to third-party tenants.
The value is based on investment value. The return
is anticipated from operations and/or eventual sale.

Areas of Consideration
Return is usually commensurate with risk.
 Potential Income Stream can affect the
investor’s perception of risk, according to the
following 3 characteristics of income:


• Quantity of the net income (how much?)
• Quality of the income (how good?)
• Certainty of the net income (how long?)

Appreciation of both land and buildings.
 Liquidity (readily convertible to cash) – Real
Estate has limitations but has partial liquidity
as owner can obtain a loan on property.

Consideration Areas, Continued …
Management involvement – degree can be
controlled by nature of the investment.
 Yield (result of the investment) varies.


• Return OF is the return of the amount of money
invested over the life of the investment.
• Return ON is a return for the use of that capital over
the life of the investment.

Leverage (use of borrowed funds to finance
a portion of the cost).
 Taxation (how the investment income is
affected by all forms of taxation).

obtain new tenants, etc.
 Potential tax advantage.
 Better than average after-tax retun on
investment through operations, a retirement
of debt (mortgage), and positive financing
leverage.

Investment Disadvantages
There is risk – always a possibility of a
downturn in income and value.
 Limited liquidity – real estate may not be
liquid because it can’t be disposed of quickly.
Stocks are liquid.
 Requires personal involvement – real estate
ownership requires more personal attention
and involvement partly because one can
have more control. Don’t forget about
property management for cost.

Investors’ Behaviour


Prudent investor will prefer the investment
with the following:








Smaller initial cash investment
Largest periodic cash flows
Largest proceeds from disposition
Earliest cash flow
Safest cash flow.

Primary motivation is to obtain the future
cash flows the investments produce – “more
is better than less”.

Financing Investments


Financing of real estate investments is
generally based on the ability of the property
to generate sufficient income to repay funds.
Several variable items are significant:
• Rate of interest on the loan.
• Ratio of the loan amount to the value of the property.
• Term of the loan or the period over which the loan is
made and the method of amortization of the loan.
• Ratio of annual debt service to net operating income
or the coverage factor.



The higher the interest rate, the lower the
ratio of the loan amount to the value of the
property – safety of investment decreases.

Principles of Leveraging
Positive leverage – borrowing at interest rate
below the overall rate of return.
 Neutral leverage – borrowing at interest rate
equal to the overall rate of return.
 Negative leverage – borrowing at interest
rate higher than the overall rate of return.
 Loan-to-Value Ratio = Loan Amount /
Property Value.
 Annual Debt Service (ADS) – total principal
and interest payments for year.
 Debt Coverage Ratio (DCR) = NOI / ADS
(DCR >1 if NOI is > than ADS)

made and the method of amortization of the loan.
• Ratio of annual debt service to net operating income
or the coverage factor.



The higher the interest rate, the lower the
ratio of the loan amount to the value of the
property – safety of investment decreases.

Principles of Leveraging
Positive leverage – borrowing at interest rate
below the overall rate of return.
 Neutral leverage – borrowing at interest rate
equal to the overall rate of return.
 Negative leverage – borrowing at interest
rate higher than the overall rate of return.
 Loan-to-Value Ratio = Loan Amount /
Property Value.
 Annual Debt Service (ADS) – total principal
and interest payments for year.
 Debt Coverage Ratio (DCR) = NOI / ADS
(DCR >1 if NOI is > than ADS)

known to be/was contaminated. Stigma is
intangible but decreases value of property
because of the fear of future hazards.

Leasing
The field of leasing open to the commercial
industry is literally unlimited.
 The only alternative to leasing is ownership.
 3 Basic types are retail, industrial and office.
 Lease is a contract between the lessor and
lessee for a term.
 Tenants receive the use and possession of
the premises for which they pay rent to the
landlord.

Types of Leases
Net Lease (net net lease or triple net lease)
requires tenant to pay all ancillary expenses
except structural repairs, landlord’s income
taxes and the landlord’s debt servicing costs.
 Gross Lease requires tenant to pay allinclusive amount to the landlord.
 Semi-Gross Lease requires landlord to
assume specified portion of operating costs.

Investment Contract




Critical test in any real estate transaction is
the manner in which the property is
marketed. Is the property alone offered, or it
is offered with management or in an entity
arrangement sufficient to constitute an
investment contract?
Securities law will apply every time the 3
elements of an investment contract exist.
They are:

1. Investment in a common enterprise.
2. Profit motive; and
3. Expectations that the profit would derive from
the efforts of the seller (sponsor) or a third
party.

Investment Properties Characteristics








The amount of financing based on the ability of the
investment to produce income as well as owner’s
credit worthiness.
Generally, the market is local except very large
investments where market is national/ international.
Ownership rights are either fee simple (freehold) or
leasehold and can be held individually, corporately,
or through joint-venture or syndications.
The property usually leased to third-party tenants.
The value is based on investment value. The return
is anticipated from operations and/or eventual sale.

Areas of Consideration
Return is usually commensurate with risk.
 Potential Income Stream can affect the
investor’s perception of risk, according to the
following 3 characteristics of income:


• Quantity of the net income (how much?)
• Quality of the income (how good?)
• Certainty of the net income (how long?)

Appreciation of both land and buildings.
 Liquidity (readily convertible to cash) – Real
Estate has limitations but has partial liquidity
as owner can obtain a loan on property.

the life of the investment.

Leverage (use of borrowed funds to finance
a portion of the cost).
 Taxation (how the investment income is
affected by all forms of taxation).

Investment Disadvantages
There is risk – always a possibility of a
downturn in income and value.
 Limited liquidity – real estate may not be
liquid because it can’t be disposed of quickly.
Stocks are liquid.
 Requires personal involvement – real estate
ownership requires more personal attention
and involvement partly because one can
have more control. Don’t forget about
property management for cost.

Investors’ Behaviour


Prudent investor will prefer the investment
with the following:








Smaller initial cash investment
Largest periodic cash flows
Largest proceeds from disposition
Earliest cash flow
Safest cash flow.

Primary motivation is to obtain the future
cash flows the investments produce – “more
is better than less”.

Value is directly related to use. Market
Value, Assessed Value, Reproduction Cost,
and Value in Use - ways to determine value.
 Time is money. Agent must be able to
adequately forecast revenue and expenses
(income streams).
 Present day value can be put on a future
benefit.
 If you know income stream and desired
return, through methods of discounting and
compounding, you can arrive at a present
day value on an investment.

Discounting/Compounding
Money has a ‘time value’.
 Compounding is the amount a dollar will
grow over a given number of periods at a
given rate of interest, if the total investment
including interest is left in the investment.
 Discounting (reverse of compounding) is
computing the value of a dollar to be
received in the future at a given discount
rate.

Financing Investments


Financing of real estate investments is
generally based on the ability of the property
to generate sufficient income to repay funds.
Several variable items are significant:
• Rate of interest on the loan.
• Ratio of the loan amount to the value of the property.
• Term of the loan or the period over which the loan is
made and the method of amortization of the loan.
• Ratio of annual debt service to net operating income
or the coverage factor.



The higher the interest rate, the lower the
ratio of the loan amount to the value of the
property – safety of investment decreases.

Investment Disadvantages
There is risk – always a possibility of a
downturn in income and value.
 Limited liquidity – real estate may not be
liquid because it can’t be disposed of quickly.
Stocks are liquid.
 Requires personal involvement – real estate
ownership requires more personal attention
and involvement partly because one can
have more control. Don’t forget about
property management for cost.

Investors’ Behaviour


Prudent investor will prefer the investment
with the following:








Smaller initial cash investment
Largest periodic cash flows
Largest proceeds from disposition
Earliest cash flow
Safest cash flow.

Primary motivation is to obtain the future
cash flows the investments produce – “more
is better than less”.

Financing Investments


Financing of real estate investments is
generally based on the ability of the property
to generate sufficient income to repay funds.
Several variable items are significant:
• Rate of interest on the loan.
• Ratio of the loan amount to the value of the property.
• Term of the loan or the period over which the loan is
made and the method of amortization of the loan.
• Ratio of annual debt service to net operating income
or the coverage factor.



The higher the interest rate, the lower the
ratio of the loan amount to the value of the
property – safety of investment decreases.

Principles of Leveraging
Positive leverage – borrowing at interest rate
below the overall rate of return.
 Neutral leverage – borrowing at interest rate
equal to the overall rate of return.
 Negative leverage – borrowing at interest
rate higher than the overall rate of return.
 Loan-to-Value Ratio = Loan Amount /
Property Value.
