Objectives
By the end of the webinar session, participants will be able to:
- Understand and explain the basic concepts and critical assumptions that underlie the income capitalization approach to estimating market value.
- Understand and explain the concepts underlying the conversion of a stream of income to an asset value, including key assumptions about movements or changes in the stream of income, in the interest rate structure, and in the applicable time horizon for a given stream of income.
- Identify the components that comprise an investor's rate of return on an income producing property and explain the relationship between the capitalization rate and the general structure of interest rates, yields on investments in comparable risk assets, and specific income producing property risk considerations.
- Identify differences, if any, between actual data for operating expenses and rental income and estimates for operating expenses and rental income used in arriving at an estimate of market value under the income capitalization approach and explain the rationale for using stabilized rather than actual values in the process.
- Assess the implications for market value, net operating income, financing amounts, and debt service capabilities from the use and application of actual versus stabilized values for rental rates, vacancy levels, and operating expenses.
