  Section 2.2.5

  May 26, 20262 minS0

  Section 2.2.5 introduces the constant-growth perpetuity, an infinite stream of cash flows where each payment grows at a fixed rate relative to the previous one. This extends earlier valuation methods by applying the geometric series formula to a never-ending sequence of growing payments, making it especially useful for long-lived real estate assets. It is commonly used to value properties with stable income and consistent rent growth, where cash flows are expected to continue indefinitely.

  Section 2.2.4

  May 26, 20262 minS0

  Section 2.2.4 introduces the present value of a constant-growth annuity in arrears, where cash flows occur at regular intervals but increase or decrease at a steady rate over time. Unlike a level annuity, each payment is a fixed multiple of the previous one, making this a more flexible model for real-world real estate income that grows with rent escalations or inflation adjustments. Using the geometric series formula, we derive a simplified way to value these growing cash flow streams. This framework is especially useful for modeling long-term leases and income-producing properties with predictable growth patterns. This episode was developed and produced...

  Section 2.2.1-2.2.3

  May 26, 20263 minS0

  Section 2.2.1–2.2.3 introduces annuities and perpetuities, which describe real-world cash flows that occur at regular intervals and often grow at a constant rate. These patterns are common in real estate, including mortgages, leases, and long-term rental income. Using the geometric series formula, we derive simplified valuation tools that allow us to price these multi-period cash flows more efficiently. This section also applies these concepts to practical real estate problems, such as valuing long-term leases and analyzing trade-offs between rent levels, lease terms, and growth rates. A key application is the level annuity in arrears, which forms the basis of most mortgage pa...

  Section 2.2

  May 26, 20262 minS0

  Section 2.2 expands present value analysis from a single cash flow to a full stream of future cash flows, which is essential for real estate investments that generate income over many periods. Instead of valuing each payment separately, we show how all discounted cash flows can be combined into one total value. This section also introduces simplified multiperiod formulas that make valuation more efficient and help clarify the relationship between income, growth, and required return when cash flows follow regular patterns. These models provide practical approximations for real-world real estate analysis. This episode was developed and produced by Nicole Jordan and...

  Section 2.1.4-2.1.6

  Apr 19, 20263 minS0

  In this episode, we explore how interest rates are applied when compounding occurs more frequently than once per year, a key concept in real estate finance. We introduce the difference between nominal rates and effective annual rates (EAR), explaining how the true annual return depends on how often interest is compounded. We also break down how real estate commonly uses monthly compounding, especially for rent payments and mortgages, and how these rates are quoted in nominal per annum terms. We compare this with bond markets, where interest is typically compounded semiannually, and explain why converting to an effective annual rate...
