![]() The main building expenses include insurance, property taxes, and common area maintenance fees (CAM). The cost of running the building day to day are the operating expenses. A modeler will also have to consider any ancillary revenues that are part of the property such as parking, concessions, vending, storage, etc.īelow is an example of detailed lease analysis modeling This analysis can be extremely complicated from a modeling perspective so it is typically only done once a buyer is serious about investing or by the asset manager who is responsible for keeping the property’s returns high. ![]() Assumptions are also made for rent increases, as well as potential vacancies, and for credit losses (tenants not paying their rent). A very detailed real estate model will have lease assumptions for each tenant. Rental revenues are the key drivers and they are heavily dependent on the leases that are in place. Step-by-Step Process to Real Estate Financial Modeling The following is an example of the kind of analysis performed for equity investors. Equity holders measure their returns using metrics such as IRR (Internal rate of return), MoIC (multiple of invested capital), and cash on cash yield (which measures the regular dividend payments) It is the residual cash flow that goes to equity investors. Since the equity holders’ returns come after the debt holders, we need to look at the cash flows after debt service. It’s necessary to forecast rental revenues and building operating expenses, as well as capital, or longer term, expenditures. Assumptions must then be made about the future cash flows. The real estate model will look at historical cash flows to assess the asset is in terms of generating current cash flow. The example below shows a model from NOI to levered and unlevered cash flow.įrom the equity perspective, the model needs to do more than that since equity investors have a greater cost of capital, or required return, than do debt holders. The cash flow that debt holders look at to determine debt service coverage is called the unlevered cash flow, as it has not yet been affected by the financial structure. A cash flow analysis of the property is necessary to determine if the rent receipts, net of any building expenses, are sufficient to service the debt. However, once the loan is made, there must be cash flows to service the loan - the interest and principal payments. They are making a loan based on the value of property. The analysis is geared toward satisfying their risk/return profiles. The primary stakeholders in a real estate investment are the debt and equity holders. In order to compile and present that data for analysis, a model is needed. In real estate, a successful deal is defined by paying the right price, choosing the correct capital structure, managing the asset at the highest level of efficiency, and selling at the right time and price. ![]()
