INVESTOR POP QUIZ

Our formula: Inflation x Leverage x Compound Interest = Profit.

Use the table below and the explanations to answer the three questions at the bottom of the sheet. At that point consider yourself a sophisticated apartment building investor.

To calculate an apartment buildings value. The formula is:

Annual Gross Income $120,000 X 8.33 Gross Rent Multiplier = $1,000,000 Value.

The “GRM” is one of the ways the industry establishes value. The “GRM” number/factor varies from 5 to 20, with 20 being the best location and 5 being the worst.  

To calculate the value of a rent increase. Assume a 4% rent increase: $120,000 + 4% = $124,800. Formula: Increased rent $4,800 x 8.33 GRM = $40,000 divided by $250,000 Down Pmt. = 16% Return.

QUIZ

Given: Annual Income increases 4%, from $120,000 to $124,800. GRM = 8.

Question #1: What is the new value of the building?

Question #2: What is the projected return on your down payment/equity with a $4,800 rent increase?

Question #3: In the above chart, if the total yield ( cash flow + loan reduction + appreciation)= 25%, how many years will it take to earn back your down payment?

Use "The rule of 72": If you divide your desired compound rate of return into 72, you get the number of years required for your investment to double.
