Definition
Space requirements
Owning is a heavy capital investment
Stay out of the “real estate business”
Maintain operating flexibility. It’s much easier to lease new space, or sub-lease excess space based on staffing levels than it is to buy or sell buildings.
Maintenance and repair
If not used, must dispose of excess space

Space requirements; growing company– succeed and grow rapidly or fail; little credit history; cant buy building and no capital to build their own
Not in financial position to own– burn rate
OWNING is capital intensive
Ventura capital has really high return expectations; its expensive capital; deploy into core business
Term
why companies lease and not own:

Gross Income Multipliers (“GIM”)
Direct Capitalization Method
Discount Present Value Method
Term
1st income approach; GIM (gross income multiplier) (ch 10)
Definition
1st Income Method: Gross Income Multiplier (“GIM”)


Apply GIM to the subject property
Example 10-1: Recent sales of similar property
box on slide 10 7
Term
1st income approach; GIM (gross income multiplier)

Selecting the GIM from the comparables is an education opinion (ch 10)
Definition
Which is most similar to the subject?
How should they be weighted?
If 6x is determined to be the GIM and the subject has gross income = $120,000;
Value Estimate = 6 x $120,000 = $720,000
Term
2nd income approach method; capitalization rate

*slides 9 up 13** get down!! (ch 10)
Definition
2nd Income Method: Capitalization Rate

value = noi/r

Example 10- 2: Recent similar property sales
able slide 10 9

Capitalization Rate Range:
13.20% < R < 13.77%
The cap rate choice is an educated opinion of the appraiser
Which property is most similar to the subject?
Note: For any two properties that you compare, the higher the cap rate, the lower the value given the same amount of NOI.

slide 10 11 , idea continued

Considerations when determining R
Consider the comparables
Similarity to subject
Physical Attributes
Location
Lease Terms
Operating Efficiency

Consider the comparables
How is NOI determined?

Term
cost approach (rationale) (ch 10)
Definition
The rationale is that no informed buyer would pay more for a property than it would cost to build a new one. This assumes, of course, that they took the time to construct a new asset into account, and the relative risks of ground up development.
Term
cost approach (when often used/ example) (ch 10)
Definition
The cost approach is often used for real estate assets that do not have an efficient market for tenants to lease space. A common example would be heavy manufacturing facilities; there is not a deep or broad market in automobile manufacturing facilities.

Complications
In multi-loan financing, a permanent loan must be in place first.
If a sale is planned, market conditions may require a committed buyer in place.
Excess speculative and open-ended construction lending may lead to overbuilding.

(one story climb law) 6th corollary 2 the one story climb law (guest development)
Definition
The world moves, in residential construction, at three stories. Residential structures either have to be less than three stories above the main entrance, in order for you to build them without elevators, or they have to be high-rise.

Once you start building a residential structure of concrete and steel to accommodate an elevator, your costs kick into so much higher an orbit that you have to build vastly more dwelling units per acre in order to make any money.

THE FARTHEST DISTANCE AN AMERICAN WILL WILLINGLY WALK BEFORE GETTING INTO A CAR:
Six Hundred Feet.
(The length of two football fields.)


WHYTE'S LAW OF THE NUMBER OF BLOCKS AN AMERICAN WILL WALK IN MOST DOWNTOWNS:
Three, maybe four. In New York City, Five.

WHY ONE-STORY MALLS ARE OBSOLETE IN POPULAR LOCATIONS?
If the mall had enough shops to meet demand put upon it; it would be viewed by customers as too sprawling to walk. (Also, the land would be too expensive to build on at that low a density.)

HOW MANY STORIES UP OR DOWN AN AMERICAN WILL USE THE STAIRS?
One. Frequently zero.
 
FIRST COROLLARY TO THE ONE-STORY-CLIMB LAW:
In a three-level mall, the main entrance should be at the second level, from which it will only be one story up or down to get to the other levels. Otherwise, people may never go to the farthest level.

Term
Roubini
Definition
the Chairman of Roubini Economics. Beginning in August 2006, Roubini commented that dropping house prices could be more than enough to cause a recession, and, also, that month he commented that sub-prime lending institutions might act as the “canary” signaling an ugly housing bust. His warnings went silent due to his lack of adequate influence through out the mid 2000s (primarily due to skepticism surrounding his theories).
Term
Kronthal
Definition
Head of Merrill’s mortgage operation, had doubts the US’ subprime mortgages and worked to keep his company from purchasing a subprime originator. Thanks to his pleading and work, Merrill owned less than a few billion dollars worth of sub-prime CDO’s.

Term
Rodriguez

apart of the First Pacific Advisors and manager of the New Income Fund. In a memo to the investors in the early 2000s, Rodrigues wrote that he was taking a buyers strike because he disliked the risk associated in purchasing Fannie and Freddie unaudited obligations.

What historic reference does the term “Crossing the Rubicon” come from? Briefly explain. What is the “Rubicon” that was crossed in Chapter 9? (hw 2)
Definition
“crossing the Rubicon” to quantify a situation in which one arrives at a point of no return. “Crossing the Rubicon” is based on the crossing of the Rubicon River by Julius Caesar’s army in 49 BC, which was considered an act of treason. The river’s significance was in that it marked the boundary between several Roman provinces, which mean Caesar was bringing an army into neighboring provinces, and, thus, was ready to accept the consequences. Lowenstein uses the “Rubicon” as a metaphor for the Federal Reserve and Treasury’s crossing of a serious line. Lowenstein breaks down that, “Without public consideration… the Fed and the Treasury… nationalized responsibility for private obligations.” This came as a result of the Fed essentially becoming the bank of Wall Street. Further, rates were cut, which encouraged lenders to continue lending (often times risky lending practices) when the true problem was insufficient capital.
Term
name five underlying causes of massive decline in the value of the mortgage backed securities? (hw 2)
Definition
a. Subprime Lending (similar to the predatory lending); people who could not qualify for able to receive loans regardless, resulting in a decreased ability to repay according to the terms set forth in the promissory note.
b. Property Lending; common occurrence which subjects people to a hike in payment value resulting in many being unable to make the payment and forcing them into default/ foreclose.
c. Subpar Amount of Assets to Capital; Many received loans when no actual property had been held as collateral.
d. Pressure from Shareholders and Congress; Allowed loose regulations on loans offered and are part of what lead to the Truth in Lending Act. The results were detrimental; causing people to sign for loans they did not know well enough and/ or did not have the ability to pay. Congress ignored the issue, failing to make any efforts until after the market had already collapsed.
e. Lack of Governmental Regulation; resulted in many unregulated loans that should have never been offered on the massive scale in which they were.
