We will use a discounted cash flow model and a financial proforma to evaluate expected cash flows and investment returns for 18512 Spicer Lake Ct, Reno, NV. We will imagine it is July 2014, and we want to decide if we will get a greater return investing in the Spicer single-family home or a portfolio of stocks. We start with the following assumptions to create our baseline return for the single-family house.

Assumptions: Purchase Price= $265,000 Monthly rent= $2,800 Rent growth rate= 3% Vacancy rate= 10% (of PGI) Opex= 30% (of EGI) Capex= 5% (of EGI) Buying costs= 2% Selling costs= 3% Capital gains tax rate= 20% Depreciation recapture tax rate= 25% Your ordinary income tax rate= 24% LTV ratio= 80% Annual interest on loan= 5% Holding period= 8 years Annual miscellaneous income= $0 MI growth rate= 0% Length of loan= 30 years Depreciation of residential property= 27.5 years Percent of purchase that is land= 10% Projected sales price= $554,000

What if we were able to negotiate a better purchase price. What is the new ATIRR if we purchased the property for $250,000? (After you answer the question correctly switch assumptions to the baseline assumptions)

What if the market was hot and housing prices were quickly rising when we were thinking about selling in August 2022. What is the new ATIRR when the new selling price is $575,000? (After you answer the question correctly switch assumptions to the baseline assumptions)

Higher ATIRR makes the investment more appealing (True or False?)
