Use for valuation
In real estate investment, real property is often valued according to projected capitalization rates used as investment criteria. This is done by algebraic manipulation of the formula below:
* Capital Cost (asset price) = Net Operating Income/ Capitalization Rate
For example, in valuing the projected sale price of an apartment building that produces a net operating income of $10,000, if we set a projected capitalization rate at 7%, then the asset value (or price we would pay to own it) is $142,857 (142,857 = 10,000 / .07).
This is often referred to as direct capitalization, and is commonly used for valuing income generating property in a real estate appraisal.
One advantage of capitalization rate valuation is that it is separate from a “market-comparables” approach to an appraisal (which compares 3 valuations: what other similar properties have sold for based on a comparison of physical, location and economic characteristics, actual replacement cost to re-build the structure in addition to the cost of the land and capitalization rates). Given the inefficiency of real estate markets, multiple approaches are generally preferred when valuing a real estate asset. Capitalization rates for similar properties, and particularly for “pure” income properties, are usually compared to ensure that estimated revenue is being properly valued.
Daily expenses
Know how your family spends money is a key factor for a prosperous financial management. Once you know where the money goes, you can plan the budget that is right for you.
Ask adult members of your family use a notebook to record expenses for a full month.
Keep track of all expenses – whether cash, credit cards or checks – so you can see where your money is going to stop.
Establish a category for each type of spending your family from major expenses such as housing until miscellaneous purchases each day, and the number assigned to their children for living expenses. Be sure to include your savings and finance charges on any outstanding loan or credit.
At the end of the month add up all expenses in each category to determine your total monthly expenses.
What you’ll see the end of the month could be very revealing and surprising.
It’s a good idea to renew your daily spending every year, and at any time they have major changes in your situation, such as a change in income, buying a new home or the birth of a baby.
