Real Estate Investment Analysis
This workbook has been designed to illustrate the process of forecasting the income and value of an investment property. Although its primary function
is to accompany the example in the text (Maegen's Manor), the worksheet is flexible enough to accommodate almost any income-producing real estate
investment, including non-residential properties. Note that the individual worksheets are integrated and that they build upon each other. Inputs need only
be made in yellow boxes; the inserted formulas will make all necessary calculations. More in-depth explanations of the numbers used here can be found
in chapters 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 16.

Ratio Analysis - Value (Chapter 12)
Ratios are widely used to gauge the reasonableness of relationships between various measures of value and performance.
Income multipliers express the relationship between market value and operating income. These multipliers can also be
used to estimate market value. Input in yellow cells only.

Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Analysis (Chapter 13)
As discussed in the text, an internal rate of return (IRR) is the discount rate that will exactly equate the present value of a projected stream of cash flows
with an initial equity investment. Alternatively, subtracting a initial equity investment from the present value of projected cash flows (discounted at a given
discount rate) yields net present value (NPV). No inputs on this worksheet.
