Welcome to the investors world.




The Internal Rate of Return or IRR calculation put simply measures the average annual yield on an investment. For an income producing property, the internal rate of return or IRR calculation uses the initial amount invested in the property, a series of projected cash flows which are usually after-taxes, and a projected After-Tax Sales Proceeds amount in a given year.
Lets look at an example. If we were calculating the internal rate of return for an income producing property 5 years in the future, we would use the Initial Investment amount or the amount of money put down on the property, the projected After-Tax Cash Flows for each of the five future years and the anticipated After-Tax Sales Proceeds in year five, the final year, to calculate an average annual return on our initial investment amount over the five year period. The On Target real estate model calculates an After-Tax IRR in years 1 through 10 using this method.
You should be aware of the following when using the IRR (internal rate of return) to measure the return on an investment. If in year 5, you have a return of 20 %, the internal rate of return calculation assumes that you made 20% on your cash flows for each of the five years. You may or may not be able to make 20% on your cash flows. The IRR calculation can therefore sometimes greatly exaggerate your average return on an investment.
The On Target real estate model also calculates a MIRR, or modified internal rate of return. When calculating the MIRR for Future Wealth with the On Target real estate model, we allow you to enter what rate of return you think you will make on your cash flows. The MIRR for Future Wealth can therefore provide a more accurate return on cash flows for each year since you determined the (interest) rate at which the cash flows get ran forward at.
Depreciation is the loss in value of an asset / building over time due to wear and tear, physical deterioration and age. The cost of reproducing an income property can be recovered over the useful life of the asset which is determined by law. Depreciation is treated as an expense and is a line item on an income statement. Depreciation can only be applied to the building and not the land, since land does not wear out over time. Residential income property must be depreciated over a 27.5 year period using straight line depreciation. Commercial income property must be depreciated over 39 years using straight line depreciation. Straight line depreciation stipulates that an asset must be depreciated by equal amounts each year over its useful life.
Net operating income is determined by subtracting vacancy amount and operating expenses from a property's gross income. Operating expenses include the following items: advertising, insurance, maintenance, property taxes, property management, repairs, supplies, utilities, etc. Operating expenses do not include the following items; Improvements such as a new roof, personal property such as a lawn mower, mortgage payments, income and capital gains taxes, loan origination fees, etc. Appraisers use the Income Approach, Cost Replacement and Market Comparison methods to estimate the value of property. The Income Approach utilizes the theory of Capitalization.
Formula: Vacancy Amount + Operating Expenses - properties Gross Income = NOI
The Capitalization Rate or Cap Rate is a ratio used to estimate the value of income producing properties. Put simply, the cap rate is the net operating income divided by the sales price or value of a property expressed as a percentage. Investors, lenders and appraisers use the cap rate to estimate the purchase price for different types of income producing properties. A market cap rate is determined by evaluating the financial data of similar properties which have recently sold in a specific market. It provides a more reliable estimate of value than a market Gross Rent Multiplier since the cap rate calculation utilizes more of a property's financial detail. The GRM calculation only considers a property's selling price and gross rents. The Cap Rate calculation incorporates a property's selling price, gross rents, non rental income, vacancy amount and operating expenses thus providing a more reliable estimate of value.
Fromula: Net Operating Income / Value = Capitalization Rate
Formula: Estimated Market Value = GRM X Potential Gross Income
Estimated Market Value: Used With GRM
Formula:
GRM (monthly) = Sale Price / Monthly Potential Gross Income
Formula: Before Tax Cash Flow / Cash Invested X 100 = %
Cash on Cash Return is a percentage that measures the return on cash invested in an income producing property. It is calculated by dividing before-tax cash flow by the amount of cash invested and is expressed as a percentage. If before-tax cash flow for an investment property is equal to $15,000 and our cash invested in the property is $100,000, cash on cash return is equal to 15%.
What consist of a mortgage and whats escrow?


Escrow is best known in the United States in the context of real estate (specifically in mortgages where the mortgage company establishes an escrow account to pay property tax and insurance during the term of the mortgage).
A mortgage is the transfer of an interest in property (or the equivalent in law - a charge) to a lender as a security for a debt - usually a loan of money. While a mortgage in itself is not a debt, it is the lender's security for a debt. It is a transfer of an interest in land (or the equivalent) from the owner to the mortgage lender, on the condition that this interest will be returned to the owner when the terms of the mortgage have been satisfied or performed. In other words, the mortgage is a security for the loan that the lender makes to the borrower.
This comes from the Old French "dead pledge," apparently meaning that the pledge ends (dies) either when the obligation is fulfilled or the property is taken through foreclosure.

Market Summary for March 2011
The Gross Rent Multiplier or GRM is a ratio that is used to estimate the value of income producing properties. The GRM provides a rough estimate of value. Only two pieces of financial information are required to calculate the Gross Rent Multiplier for a property, the sales price and the total gross rents possible. If this information is available for multiple sales of similar types of income properties in a particular area, it can then be used to estimate the market value of other similar properties in that area. Some investors use a monthly Gross Rent Multiplier and some use a Yearly GRM. The monthly Gross Rent Multiplier is equal to the Sales Price of a property divided by the potential monthly gross income and the Yearly GRM is the Sales Price divided by the yearly potential gross income.
