Dear John,
After our last meeting I have carefully analyzed the four different real estate projects that you would be interested in investing.
From what I understood your investment profile is:
- You have a $9 million budget to invest in real estates and other investments so I took the initiative to assume that you would invest from $5-$6 million in those projects (= 60%)
- You are now retired and therefore are looking for a passive, with minimal-risk investment
- The willing benefits of your investment should be: o Diversification (medium-high) o Protection from inflation (increase of cash flow of 3%) o Tax advantages o An expected minimum leveraged return of 12% after-tax
I have had different choices to come across, both qualitative and quantitative, in order to optimize your investment.
The first step was to choose between a residential property and an office property. A residential, multifamily, property is by definition less risky than an office building when comparing the tenant volatility risk. Indeed, rent is the first and most important expense for residing families whereas office rents directly depend on the good health of the involved companies and therefore on the structure of the economy, which are out of our direct control. Another factor is that the low number of tenants in an office building would bring up a greater risk if any of those chose to break the lease. The greater volume of tenants in a residential property would protect you from this kind of unforeseen risk.
I have therefore chosen to direct you towards the Allison Green and Ivy Terrace projects which are residential properties.
The Allison Green property was built in 2000 and holds a 95% occupancy rate whereas the Ivy Terrace project is still under construction and the occupancy rate is only a projected value of 93%, although guaranteed at that rate by contract for the next three years.
As I previously mentioned, one of the most important priorities in your investment

    The results of the analysis lend favourably towards accepting the investment project. First it is important to note that based on the after tax cost of borrowing and a risk premium of 3.75%, a discount rate of 8.89% was deemed appropriate for the project. The majority of the investment indicators used to value the project use discounted cash flows to determine the investment’s profitability. This technique allows for comparison amongst different investment opportunities available, as it provides the total return that is expected to be achieved over the project’s horizon in current dollar terms.…

    Next we had to get the Net Present Value (NPV), which is the “sum of the present values of all expected cash flows (Horngren, Sundem, Stratton, Burgstahler, and Schatzberg, 2008),” of the before tax net cash inflow. We took the net income and multiplied it by the NPV factor, which is 6.6231. $560,000 * 6.6231 = $3,708,936. Then we compared it to the investment, of $3.3 million to see if it’s worth investing. This would be a good short-term and long term investment because it’s more than the initial investment.…
