Principle of Expectation (anticipation) People base their actions on what they expect to happen If we think property values will increase we buy If we think property values will decrease we rent and wait Based on the town’s direction of growth Toward something Undeveloped land Another town Transportation node Fear that town is in decline Belief that town will grow towards an area
Substitution principle Maximum value of property is set by availability of equally desirable property Foundation of the sales comparison approach
Anticipated changes Land use changes slowly over time Zoning changes from: Agricultural to Industrial  Manufacturing  Commercial Office Retail Residential Single family Multifamily
Economic Trends Four Phases of neighborhood change Development Stable Decline Renaissance

Capitalization Rate = Return on investment    “T” Formula     Results Base	Rate Investor demands a 10% Return; could be 15% or any number This as the Rate in the “T” Formula  - Must change to decimal    .10      Rate always goes on bottom right You may not get the net income, but be given the numbers to calculate it The way to calculate net income isGIVEN GI	$100,000	Gross Income:  100 apartments renting for $1000 per month V     -       $5,000Vacancy is 5%  (of Gross Income)   E-     $30,000Expenses are 30%  (of Gross Income)   N    =    $65,000	Net Income   (Before Taxes) Net income for one month, so multiply by 12 to get annual income = $780,000 $780,000 is the Result,(top #)  you know the Rate (bottom right #) is .10  you want  the Base (bottom left) Divide the Net Income (Results) of $780,000 by the Rate of .10 : : X
_____________$780,000___________    $7,800,000                        .10      Capitalization Rate in this example is 10% This apartment has a market value of $7,800,000  at a capitalization Rate of 10% What if it sold for $5,000,000? 	This means that the market (investors) require a higher rate of return of 15.6%    Calculator said  0.156 With the “T” Formula, if you get an answer that look wrong, swap the Base # with the Result # and recalculate 7,800,000 / 780,000 would give a rate of return of 1000% and you would know that is wrong Remember to move the decimal point two places to the right to get the percent    .10  = 10% : : X
Appraisal is an estimate of market value Appraisers are licensed - 2500 hour training Appraisal necessary when: Federally related transaction Residential property above $250,000 Appraisers use verifiable information  Allows lender to get independent opinion of value
