Your uncle passed away and left you $10 million with the stipulation that it be invested in real estate in the next 90 days. As word of your newfound wealth leaked into the real estate brokerage community, a line of brokers formed outside your door.“You should buy this office building” said the first broker, Ira Our. “At $20 million you’ll have to borrow money to buy it, but I know an Office Building REIT that wants to buy it for $21 million. The problem is that their Investment Committee doesn’t meet until next week and the Seller needs a binding Letter of Intent this week. You can flip the building in 45 days to the Office Building REIT and, after all expenses, pocket a quick $500,000. It works out to a 32.5% Internal Rate of Return. How are you going to beat that?”What are the practical and theoretical weaknesses in the investment/valuation methodology of Ira Our?
Alexa bought a store two years ago for $250,000. She leased it out at $4,000 a month. Now she is considering the option to cancel the lease and use the location as a salon. About two months ago, Alexa changed the flooring of the store at a cost of $20,000. She estimates that the machinery for the salon will cost $150,000. Alexa expects the net operating cash flows to be $35,000 annually for 5 years, after which she plans to scrap the remaining inventory and retire. If she opens up this new salon, the sales from her other salon would drop by 10%. Alexa wants a return of 9% on his investment or else she would not go ahead with his plans. The $4000 leasing revenue would be included in the calculation of operating cash flows as it the opportunity cost. True False
