Anybody who invests any amount of money at an undefined rate of return very quickly has an undefined percent return on his investment.
From this, we see that as the value of an asset increases, the amount of income it produces should also increase (at the same rate), in order to maintain the cap rate.
Capitalization rates are an indirect measure of how fast an investment will pay for itself. In the example above, the purchased building will be fully capitalized (pay for itself) after ten years (100% divided by 10%). If the capitalization rate were 5%, the payback period would be twenty years. Note that a real estate appraisal in the U.S. uses net operating income. Cash flow equals net operating income minus debt service. Where sufficiently detailed information is not available, the capitalization rate will be derived or estimated from net operating income to determine cost, value or required annual income. An investor views his money as a “capital asset”. As such, he expects his money to produce more money. Taking into account risk and how much interest is available on investments in other assets, an investor arrives at a personal rate of return he expects from his money. This is the cap rate he expects. If an apartment building is offered to him for $100,000, and he expects to make at least 8 percent on his real estate investments, then he would multiply the $100,000 investment by 8% and determine that if the apartments will generate $8000, or more, a year, after operating expenses, then the apartment building is a viable investment to pursue.
In a well orchestrated series of statements has made it clear that the Spanish capital is strong, he is happy with his socialist government and is joined with neighboring countries beset by international financial sharks, Greece and Portugal. After the queen is our Greek by birth, and a timely intervention in the economy of his native country, which surely loves despite the ingratitude of the people, can give a margin to influence policy. Just seconding Mr. Botin, the chairman of Telefónica, Mr. Alierta, confirmed in their statements the wisdom of government policy, and added a critical input to understand the Spanish economy of the day: over 60% of the benefits of investment company obtained outside Spain. Investments that are insured, for the most part are in Latin America, which, as everyone knows, has not just been through the trough of depression. Thus, the Spanish capital is out of danger. We are a power exporting capital and investing heavily in its neo-colonies with large profit margins.
Of course these statements are confusing the Spanish capital to the Spanish economy. But what can we do if even the socialist government itself seems confused, when allocated 50 billion Plan E to avoid problems related to the Bank? And soccer is that the appointment is a sign of patriotism by Emilio Botin, and how to understand this gentleman’s patriotism. Our bankers will save the economy homeland!
Today, these insurers suffered huge losses when working with packages backed securitized (or contaminated) by mortgages of poor quality. Therefore, two of them have lost their triple A rating, with serious repercussions on the entire financial system, affecting corporate bonds and municipal governments throughout the U.S., although they were not related in the first instance to the mortgage market. Today several monoline insurers are on the brink of insolvency, which would drag the American financial system to a catastrophe.
Monoline insurers and securitization transactions credit packages were considered innovations to distribute and reduce risk. But today is the vehicle of a metastasis that threatens all components of the financial system. The low rating of the monolines will force banks to incorporate in its financial statements the deterioration of many instruments, which will reduce the credit for the entire economy. Moreover, the securitization of credit packages infected by the bad quality will be the key in the drive belt which will eventually contaminate the entire financial system in the United States and worldwide.
In summary, the mechanisms supposedly designed to reduce the risk of a systemic crisis is precisely those who now constitute the greatest threat to the integrity of the financial system, banking and non banking. The worst thing is that there is no chance of a rescue or an appropriate macroeconomic policy response.
The U.S. financial crisis will deepen the recession, making it longer and deeper than before. Also spread throughout the world, combined with the worst financial crisis in seven decades. All this despite the rebound “spectacular” (and irrational) in world stock markets, like those of yesterday. After the storm, when the dust settles, we see that the economy and the global financial system have undergone profound changes. And the dreadful sequel of bankruptcies, unemployment and inequality will mark the final farewell to the happy rhetoric about the virtues of globalization.
The idea that the financial crisis facing the United States due to an abnormality in a segment of the mortgage loan system is wrong. Irresponsible mortgage lending and poor quality have not been able to generate for themselves this crisis. There are deep connections in the financial system that explain why we may be witnessing the outbreak of the worst financial disaster since 1930.
The poor quality mortgage loans originated in interbank competition to dominate the U.S. market. In that fight, banks resorted to irresponsible mortgages placed, without analysis of credit history, no income verification, no down payment and so forth. But it is essential that these practices were used in 60 percent of total mortgages in the U.S. in the last two years. Hence the collapse of the mortgage market is widespread. And the effects on non-residential mortgage market (shopping centers, offices) are already being felt. The problem is compounded because the same irresponsible practices spread to consumer loans, credit cards, financing purchases of cars and even college tuition credits.
But perhaps the most important connection to the financial system is in practice called monoline insurers and the securitization of mortgage securities. For its triple-A rating on the market, monoline insurers provide a guarantee for bond issuers in return for a premium. This mechanism reduces the cost of financing to the issuer as the purchaser of the bonds feel you have a premium support.
