In this episode we cover the difference between two often misunderstood common terms. Equity Multiple Ratio used to determine total cash return over the life of the investment (Total Profit + Equity Invested) / Equity Invested Internal Rate of Return Discount rate such that the Net Present Value of All cash flows equals zero Need to use excel (google it and watch it on YouTube) What it means in English is it is a measure of expected returns annualized over time. Think of this as the rate of growth you would expect over time from a project How much interest would a bank account have to pay given you cash flows to produce same overall return? How they are different. Equity multiple shows total return of cash over time. IRR shows total return on cash over time   See the video

Understanding the Direct Capitalization Method of valuing property is essential to maximizing long term returns. Different ways to value properties 1) Replacement costs 2) Comparable sales 3) Income approach a) Gross rent multiplier (asking price/gross rent) Pro: Allows for efficient sorting of multiple properties quickly Con: Doesn't account for operating expenses b) Cap Rate/direct capitalization method Commercial properties are typically calculated via cap rates. You will some time see things like price per foot or price per door but in the end cap rates are main valuation tool. Cap rates (expanded) Definition cap rate Purchase Price (or market value) = NOI/ Capitalization rate Quick def of NOI-all income and expenses attributable to property as if you paid cash.
