Question

. You are asked to evaluate a potential RE equity investment. This investment will be held for 5 years if the price is reasonable. In the first year, the net operating income (NOI) is $200,000 and it will yearly increase by 20% as a constant factor. It is expected that the RE investment can be sold after 5 years for $1,500,000. The U.S. Treasury notes with a 5-year maturity are currently yielding at 4% and you expect a liquidity premium of 2.5% pa. Furthermore you require a risk premium of 3.5% for other risks (e.g. operational risk) Calculate the investment value (IV) of the RE investment!
